Taster's Club

What's in the box: Each month a box usually holds one bottle of a spirit chosen by the club from the category you signed up for.

Taster's Club is a US liquor of the month service that ships a curated bottle each month from the club you choose. The range is broad: whiskey, bourbon, scotch, tequila, vodka, gin and rum clubs, plus higher tier Scotch Pro and Tequila Pro options and a Stock the Bar club for people who want variety across categories. The website lists plans starting at $44.99 a month for the vodka and gin clubs, $69.99 for whiskey and bourbon, and $184.99 for Scotch Pro, so this is a premium purchase rather than a casual add on. The main appeal is discovery. The picks lean toward labels that many buyers would not find on a local shelf, which suits curious drinkers more than people loyal to a few brands. You do not choose the bottle, so some months will land better than others. Shipping depends on state alcohol laws, and the state selector on the site does not include every state, so check availability before buying or sending a gift. Beyond the clubs, there is a bottle shop for one off purchases and seasonal collections. Overall it is a focused option that makes sense if you value curation and variety and can accept the price.
