Not every bourbon aficionado can spend the time visiting distilleries, going to bourbon events, perusing liquor store aisles, or reading online content just to keep up with the latest and greatest bourbons. That’s where bourbon subscription services are perfect! And BONUS...we here at Pegasus Tours have already done the homework and set up the upside and downside of each...so your choice should be easy!

 

What is a bourbon subscription service?

Bourbon subscription services provide regular deliveries of curated bourbon to your home, ranging from sample-sized tasting kits to full-sized bottles. Experts select bottles from award-winning or craft distilleries that may not be available locally. Many clubs offer members priority access to limited-run "barrel picks" or rare releases. Most include tasting notes, distillery backstories, and cocktail recipes to help you learn as you drink. And best of all... subscribers often receive reduced pricing on additional bottle purchases from the service's online shop!


Imagine staying in your slippers and a box of curated bourbon is delivered to your door!

Of course, make sure to check each service to make sure they ship to your location. And of course, an adult (21+) must be there to sign for the delivery.

 

But...you’re still in slippers and now you've got that perfect bourbon glass in hand.

 

So, let’s see a few subscription services that could be perfect for you...

  1. Flaviar's Champions of Bourbon Subscription


Recognized as one of the top bourbon-of-the-month clubs, Flaviar’s Champions of Bourbon subscription highlights award-winning selections. Each monthly bourbon has either earned gold medals at major spirits competitions or received high ratings from leading publications. The offerings range from premium bottles by well-known brands to unique, small-batch spirits crafted by distilleries across the country.

 

The individual subscription automatically renews, with payment options for one or three months at a time, and you can easily cancel or pause shipments whenever needed. Alternatively, there’s a non-renewing gift subscription available for three, six, or twelve months. In all cases, shipping is included in the price, so you won't encounter any unexpected charges during checkout.


Upside:

From both small indie producers and big names, the bottles in this selection are all award-winners, and it’s simple to adjust your subscription options.

 

Downside:

If you’re a picky bourbon drinker, the downside of the Champions of Bourbon subscription is that it doesn’t offer any choices; each month features only one bottle, and that’s the bottle you get.


Other Notes:

Shipping Included: Yes | Delivery Area: 41 US states | Includes: 1 (750-milliliter) bottle per month

  1. Blackwell's Bourbon Club

Many bourbon of the month clubs feature rare, hard-to-find bottles, but Blackwell’s Bourbon Club takes exclusivity to another level, making it stand out for its unique selections. These whiskies are not available anywhere else. Members can enjoy single-barrel picks from renowned brands like Maker’s Mark, as well as special collaborations with distilleries and limited extra-aged spirits.


Upside:

The Blackwell’s Bourbon Club is a pay-by-the-month subscription only. You can choose between one or two bottles of each bourbon, and you can cancel or hold your subscription whenever you want. This adds flexibility but...

 

Downside:

...that is also perhaps why Blackwell’s is one of the more expensive options. The single bottle included in your subscription costs $80 before shipping. And with their pay-by-the-month subscription as the only option, there is no discount for multiple months in advance.


Other Notes:

Shipping Included: No | Delivery Area: 48 US states | Includes: 1 or 2 (750-milliliter) bottles per month.

  1. RackHouse Whiskey Club

Okay, this next one is more of a whiskey service but they do have bourbon as well. And the cool thing is, they work directly with distillers and you get a free gift with each box! Known as the ultimate “splurge” club, RackHouse collaborates with American distillers to curate unique whisky packages every other month. Each delivery contains two bottles and an additional gift selected by the distillery owners. Members get to experience distinctive spirits from unexpected regions like Virginia, Florida, and Iowa—some even exclusive to RackHouse and unavailable elsewhere.

 

Upside:

This bimonthly box features two small-production bourbons and a special gift from their distiller.


Downside:

While RackHouse primarily features bourbons, it's important to remember this is an American whiskey club, not just a bourbon club. Occasionally, you'll find other styles such as rye or Tennessee whiskey included in their selections.

 

Other Notes:

Shipping Included: Yes | Delivery Area: 41 US states | Includes: 2 (750-milliliter) bottles and a gift every other month.

  1. PourMore Bourbon of the Month Club

Considered the best bourbon of the month service for gifting, PourMore’s bourbon club has two tiers — Intro and Explorer — both of them focused largely on lesser-known, small distilleries. You’re likely to see indie brands you might not be able to find where you live, including Garrison Brothers Texas bourbon and Smoke Wagon from Las Vegas. PourMore also has clubs for lots of other spirit categories, including Scotch, mezcal, rum, and the bartender subscription, which includes a mix of them all.


One issue with gifting a bourbon of the month club membership is that many of them renew automatically at the end of the subscription period. This can lead to an awkward situation if you forget to cancel and wind up spending twice as much as you intended. PourMore solves the problem, offering prepaid one-time gift subscriptions with options for three, six, or 12 months. You can also choose from shipments every month or every other month, depending on how quickly your bourbon-loving friend goes through bottles.


Upside:

This subscription offers two membership tiers, monthly or bi-monthly shipping, three subscription lengths, and hand-selected small-production spirits.


Downside:

The downside with PourMore is that its website can be a little buggy. Some of the links that are supposed to go to the non-renewing gift options redirected back to the main subscription pages that auto-renew. Look at the checkout page closely before you complete your purchase.


Other Notes:

Shipping Included: No | Delivery Area: 45 US states | Includes: 1 (750-milliliter) bottle per month or every other month.

  1. Tasters' Club Monthly Service

Few whiskey enthusiasts know every bourbon brand offered by Taster’s Club. Past selections include Casey Jones, Buzzard’s Roost, Stellum Spirits, Rod & Hammer’s, and Red Line Whiskey Co., ensuring you receive exclusive bottles not found at typical stores. Food & Wine named it the “best craft distillery bourbon of the month club.”


The bourbon subscription from Taster’s Club is definitely for the more adventurous bourbon and whiskey lover. It explores styles from sweet wheated bourbons to spicy rye-heavy bottlings, with cask-strength and other high-proof options making frequent appearances. It’s a good choice for someone who’s already excited about bourbon and wants to dive in further.


Additionally, every shipment from Taster’s Club is accompanied by a digital tasting guide that provides the history of the bottling, information about its producer, and the reasons for its selection. The guide also features comprehensive tasting notes and recommended cocktail pairings. The website offers a wide range of individual bottles for purchase, as well as subscriptions to numerous spirit categories and a wine of the month club.

 

Upside:

This club provides members with a comprehensive exploration of bourbon, offering detailed tasting notes with each delivery.

 

Downside:

Many of the featured bourbons are in unusual styles and extra-high proof that might not be for everyone.

 

Other Notes:

Shipping Included: Yes | Delivery Area: 43 US states | Includes: 1 (750-milliliter) bottle per month
