We try wayyy more bourbon every week than we post on the blog.

As I’m writing this my business partner, Mike, is sitting on ~30 samples and there are more arriving EVERY week.

We literally had to rent a box at Fedex to help us manage all the bottles distilleries are sending to us.

And we don’t get to publish “official” reviews on the blog for weeks because of how many bottles we’re getting.

But as an Insider, you get our brutally honest first opinions on these bottles (many of which are brand-new releases).

Not only that, you also now get to ask us questions about each bottle and start discussions with other Insiders who may have also tried them.

Yet another perk of upgrading Insiders to a thriving online community instead of just a newsletter.

This is another thing we don’t post on the blog.

Our staff is literally on the front lines of the bourbon industry and, as an Insider, you get access to everything we’re seeing.

That means we’ll tell you about:

- New releases
- What allocated bottles are worth buying (at at what price)
- New distilleries opening
- New in-person bourbon experiences opening
- Bourbons that recently won awards
- And much more

We’ll help you easily stay on top of what’s happening in the bourbon world.

We literally go and visit distilleries to learn more about them, their bourbon, and more.

And we give you the lowdown on each one with our special Distillery Deep-Dives.

These are not only entertaining, but they help you determine if you might like the bourbon they make and whether you should plan a trip to the distillery yourself.

As an Insider, you also get to ask us questions about these experiences and suggest distilleries you want us to visit next.

Mike, my business partner, is an instructor at Whiskey University (...which means he knows a TON about bourbon).

And we’re releasing exclusive, detailed workshops about everything from how bourbon is made to what goes into a label.

But not only that, Mike also will release “Sippin’ Stories” that tell the story of almost unbelievable things that have happened throughout the rich history of bourbon (including one about a bootlegger in congress).

These are BRAND NEW features of Insiders that we’re able to provide with this new online community format.

Insiders has a dedicated discussion board where you can directly ask us and fellow Insiders questions.

It’s like a Facebook group but filled with only enthusiasts (it’s a tater-free zone).

Our staff jumps in weekly to answer questions, make suggestions, and engage with you.

We have an entire section in Insiders dedicated to “Polls” where we will ask questions of the community geared towards finding:

- Bourbons that are underrated
- Bourbons that are overrated
- Bourbons that are overpriced
- And much more

For instance, we’ll ask the community what the best bourbons are under $30, and you’ll get to see both fellow Insiders and staff comment.

The result?

You get a massive list of GREAT bourbons to try.

And we’ll be running polls like this frequently.

As an Insider, you get to suggest different bourbons you want us to review, lists you want us to make (like best bourbons under $50 for instance), and more.

That means YOU get to help us dictate what kind of content we produce in the Insiders community. Anything is fair game and you can make any suggestion you’d like.

Want us to run a particular poll? Want us to start hosting live online events?

Tell us.

(By the way, we plan on adding some AWESOME stuff in the future…keep reading for that)

With this switch to an online community, the sky is the limit to what we can do.

At the time of this launch, we don’t have these features, but we plan on adding things to the community like:

- Live online tastings
- Blind taste tests
- Interviews with distillers and bourbon celebrities
- Live video Q&A
- And much more

And by joining now, you get to lock in your price for as long as you are a member (we will likely have to increase the price when we add these features).
