About us
The Craft Whiskey Collective was founded with a simple mission: to bring people together over great whiskey and shine a light on the craft producers who are redefining the industry. In a world obsessed with allocated bourbon and the hunt for big-name bottles, we believe some of the best whiskey is being made by small, independent distillers who often go overlooked.
Why another whiskey group?
Whiskey groups are everywhere—chasing the same limited releases, flipping bottles, and hyping the next big thing. That’s not us. We’re here to highlight the artisans, the risk-takers, and the distilleries that are pushing boundaries.
Craft whiskey isn’t just an alternative to legacy brands—it’s often better. These producers are using innovative grain bills, unique maturation techniques, and bold blending choices to create whiskey that stands toe-to-toe with (or surpasses) the biggest names in the business. We want to give them the stage they deserve. And unlike chasing bottles on secondary markets or watching distillery tours online, we create opportunities to talk directly with the owners, master distillers, and blenders—giving you a chance to pick their brains, hear their stories, and make real connections.
What we do
Each month, we host intimate events where distillers present their whiskey, share their stories, and let the spirit speak for itself. We facilitate tastings, send samples, and, when the opportunity arises, buy barrels that our members can access—bottles you won’t find on every shelf.
This is about discovery, community, and a deeper appreciation for whiskey made with passion, not marketing budgets. If you love great whiskey and want to explore what craft distilling has to offer, you’re in the right place.
