Mash & Grape

What's in the box: Each month brings a spirit chosen from producers around the world, and the site does not promise tequila or rum.

Mash & Grape is mainly an online shop for craft spirits, with a monthly subscription added on. The store sorts bottles into whiskey, bourbon, scotch, gin and agave, and the featured bottles lean toward American whiskey and brandy. The subscription is pitched as a gift: exceptional spirits from around the world, delivered every month, for someone who has everything. If you want a club that sends only tequila or rum, know that up front. The site does not say the monthly box focuses on agave or cane spirits. The agave section lets you shop tequila and mezcal one bottle at a time, and rum gets no category of its own in the main navigation. What you can buy depends on your state, because the site asks for your delivery location before showing products. Flat ground shipping of $14.99 applies to orders over $44. The site does not clearly explain plan options, how bottles are chosen for the monthly box, or how to skip or cancel, so check those terms before you buy a gift. There is also a free email newsletter billed as a personal sommelier for your inbox. Overall, it is a reasonable place to browse small producers. As a dedicated tequila and rum subscription, it is a loose fit.
