One cask.
Fifty members.
Five years in the wood.
Every club cask is a real barrel, filled at the Flying Tumbler bond at Larch Grove and paid for by the fifty members around it. Every euro you pay earns you a credit in it. Five years later the cask is bottled, divided on those credits — and the bottles come home to the rooms that filled it.

A real cask, in a real bond.
Every club cask lies at Larch Grove, the Flying Tumbler bond in Co. Carlow — gauged, logged and under Revenue’s eye for the whole of its five years.
First-fill ex-bourbon American oak — its boldest flavour, first time round.
Cask strength. The standard entry strength for new spirit into the wood.
From the Lay-Down to the Harvest, at Larch Grove under bond.
Called by the room at the Reckoning, from the wood library.
The flavour lives in the wood — and no one else opens a library like this to a single cask.
Fifty-eight finishing casks — classics through to the rare and exotic — each one individually profiled. The room chooses its finish from here at the Reckoning, in year three. Walk the cellar; click into any one.
Watch them build.
Drag through the five years. Your credits count up every month you're a member, and the cask fills with all fifty of you behind it.
Four chapters, and when you get a say.
New spirit into a first-fill bourbon barrel, reduced to filling strength and racked at Larch Grove under bond.
A progression sample drawn and tasted, and the room calls the finish from the wood library.

Cut to bottling strength, the label the room voted for, bottled — and the bottles come home, divided on credits.
Straight answers.
They can't be cashed or spent. They're what the cask is divided on when it's bottled, and that's all they're for.
Whiskey loses some to the angels every year, and nobody knows the outturn until the cask is opened. We won't guess it for you.
Duty and bottling are carried by the membership. No call for more money, ever.
Cancel any time. You stop earning credits, and you keep every credit you've already earned.
