Whiskey Membership Services

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The World Whiskey Society Introduces Two Whiskey-Inspired Membership

— February 21, 2025 — Lifestyle
The World Whiskey Society has introduced a new whiskey membership service designed to cater to whiskey enthusiasts and connoisseurs alike. The program offers two tiers — a free 'Society Access' tier and a premium 'Society Subscription.'

The free 'Society Access' whiskey membership delivers exclusive content, event invitations, and early access to new releases. The premium 'Society Subscription,' on the other hand, includes quarterly deliveries of exclusive, limited-edition whiskeys, a 5% discount on purchases, and priority access to special collections. The inaugural release for premium members is a 12-year-old Kentucky Bourbon finished in ex-Macallan barrels. The spirit offers a unique blend of smoky peat, dried fruit, and oak flavors.

The World Whiskey Society's initiative aims to foster a sense of community while providing members with access to rare and exceptional whiskeys.
