Why are we signing up for bottles before they're here?
Signing up for bottles now helps us determine the demand and whether the group is interested! Signing up early ensures the demand is there for the bourbon, so the people who pay for the bottles are not stuck with leftover bottles of bourbon the members don't want.
What happens if I don't sign up but want bottles later, when they arrive?
Depending on the results of signups, some bottles might be left unclaimed. If that's the case, there will be follow up emails asking for additional signups. If all bottles are claimed and spoken for, you will have to contact a member who is willing to give up his allocation. Don't delay, SIGN UP NOW!
Do I pay now?
No. Bottle distribution will happen as before. You can arrange for bottle pickup when the bottles are available. That's also when the payment is due.
When will the barrel be picked?
We will start arranging the pick as soon as we have a strong enough demand signal. No arrangements have been made yet, but we are hoping to pick this quickly so the bottles are available before the Woodford Reserve pick date.
Can I participate in the pick?
YES! When the pick date and time is arranged, newsletter email will be sent out to ask for participants signups for the pick event. Signup for the pick if you would like to go! All members are encouraged to participate, as it's always fun and unique experience. However, the number of people allowed to attend is often limited by the distillery. If more people signed up exceed the limit, names will be drawn at random.
When will the signups close?
We would like to go pick this up as soon as we can. Don't delay, signup now. The sooner we have the bottles claimed by the members the sooner we can start arranging the pick date and moving forward with this. Additional email will be sent prior to form closing (~3 weeks) but don't wait to sign up for bottles! |
