Frequently Asked Questions

The Club operates on a subscription-based membership basis and costs $20/month. There is no minimum subscription term and you are free to cancel at any time. If you join from Ireland/Europe, your credit card statement will show the amount in Euros based on the exchange rate each month (approximately Eur 18.50 give or take). 

Your monthly membership fee entitles you to the following:

Invite to Monthly “Meet-the-Makers” Private Event

Full Access to The Stillhouse – with new monthly videos, interviews, educational features  and articles

Full Access to Quarterly Tasting Events with Irish Whiskey Makers & Brand Owners*

Opportunity to purchase each Exclusive Club Bottling (multiple per year)*

Partner Discounts & Exclusive Club Offers 

*  You have the option (but are not obligated) to purchase exclusive Club Bottlings, shares in Club Cask Programs or Whiskey Tasting Packs for our Quarterly Tasting Events. These will incur a separate and fully transparent charge. 

The following items are not included in your membership fee and are an optional extra purchase should you decide to buy:

• Exclusive Club Whiskey Bottlings
• Shares in our Club Cask Programs
• Shipping charges for our Whiskey Tasting Packs for our Quarterly Tasting Events (see separate FAQ for more info on this one)

Each Quarterly Tasting Event will have an allocated number of Tasting Kits. This number will vary depending on the whiskey and distillery but we will endeavor to have as many packs available as are requested. 

These packs will be brought you at cost price meaning they are not marked up or priced for profit. The costs will depend on the variable freight and shipping costs. Currently FedEx charges $20 minimum for legally compliant shipment of even a single miniature bottle of whiskey within the United States. Each of our  Tasting Packs so far have cost in the region of $25 in the US and around Eur 9.95 in Ireland.

No, not at all. Perhaps you already have these bottles on hand or you'd like to sit in and learn without the whiskeys. As a member you can join all Tasting Events, with or without the whiskeys. 

We work with a licensed alcohol retailer in Ireland who currently ships to Ireland, Europe and globally including all states in the United States. 

We'd love to have you as a member of the Club, no matter where you live. Our virtual events are typically hosted at 7pm Eastern United States time (midnight Irish time) but if that's too late, we always have a recording available the next day to watch anytime. 

We won't know the exact price until we finalize shipping and freight costs, angels share, etc for each release. We expect most bottlings to be under $100 though we may also have much lower and much higher options for those who wish to participate. Most important to us is that we bring you unique, extraordinary whiskeys as cost-effectively as possible. 

In an effort to bring down the cost of Cask Program participation, the Club will purchase entire whiskey casks from distilleries and divide up the cask into a number of shares. The number of shares will vary depending on the size of the cask. Each share will be redeemable (post-maturation) for one bottle of the mature cask. In some cases the price paid for a share will include all charges and fees up to the point of handing you your bottle(s). In other cases, there may be separate shipping/bottling charges. This will ALWAYS be made extremely clear PRIOR to the sale of Cask shares. We will be fully transparent and share all available information at all times. 

1 share of one Cask Program might cost you $40 while another might cost you $80. Again, we'll make all this clear prior to the opening of each Cask Program.  

We know that not everything is a fit for everyone so if you join and you decide it's not for you in the first month of joining and you haven't ordered any whiskeys or tasting kits in this time, simply shoot us an email and we'll cancel your membership and return the monthly fee you paid. We'd never expect you to pay for something you weren't happy with.
