"Bye bye sh*tty state lotteries. I got a Weller 12 in my second box — retail $40, try finding that anywhere under $250."

"Always happy with BC. Orders ship fast, packaged to withstand a 10-foot fall, all with the best prices around. Highly recommend."

Greg L.

"The tasting card alone is worth the price. My wife and I do a Friday pour and read the notes together. Best date night of the month."

Priya S.

"Got Pappy 15 in my third box. My hands were shaking. They make this feel like Christmas every month."

Questions, answered

The fine print, in plain English.

What's actually inside the Mystery Bourbon Box?

Every box contains 2–4 bottles of bourbon or rye whiskey, hand-selected by our tasting team, with a guaranteed retail value of at least $350. You'll also receive a personalized tasting card with notes, pairings, proof and distillery history for every bottle.

Can I really get a Pappy Van Winkle 23 Year?

Yes — every single box is entered into our Pappy pool. One Pappy 23 Year is placed into a random customer box every month. We've given away 47 bottles to date, including to Mark B. of Henderson, NV (see his box above).

How does the subscription work?

Pick monthly, every 3 months or every 6 months delivery. You can pause, skip, swap a box, or cancel from your account at any time — no phone calls, no hoops.

What if I don't like a bottle?

Tell our tasting team what you did and didn't love in your last box — we re-tune the next one to match. If you're ever truly unhappy with a box, we'll replace it or refund you, no questions asked.

Can I send it as a gift?

Absolutely. Pick the one-time option at checkout and add the recipient's address and a handwritten note. We'll ship it directly with adult signature required (recipient must be 21+).

Where do you ship?

We ship to 42 US states with adult signature required on delivery. Enter your zip at checkout to confirm — we'll tell you instantly if we can reach you.

Your next pour is already packed.

Only 37 boxes remaining in this month's allocation. Once they're gone, the next Pappy pool doesn't open until next month.
