 J. Carver Explorers Club FAQ’s

  • Our J. Carver Explorers Club Private Reserve Barrel releases have been carefully hand-selected by our J. Carver team specifically for the whiskey and craft spirits aficionado looking for unique barrel-aged spirits held for long term aging at our J. Carver Barrel Room in Waconia, Minnesota. Each J. Carver Explorers Club Private Reserve Barrel release highlights the unique flavors of Minnesota grains with the complexity of a carefully crafted, well-aged spirit.

  • Enjoy an evening tasting through a trio of J. Carver spirits including private barrel releases with our J. Carver Distillers and team during our "Friday Night Flights Event" at J. Carver Distillery. Our team of Distillers will walk you through a tasting flight including limited release hand-selected barrels during the event. Members will have the opportunity to discuss the difference between the different spirits, mash bills and aging process with our Team.

  • J. Carver Explorers Club Members will receive an email to inform you when our J. Carver Team members have bottled the Private Reserve Barrel. We will follow up with an emailed invoice that will include a payment link and information on pick-up opportunities at the J. Carver Distillery Cocktail Room.

  • J. Carver Explorers Club Members will pick up their Private Reserve Bottle at the J. Carver Distillery Cocktail Room in Waconia, Minnesota. J. Carver Distillery is not able to ship product at this time. For your convenience, in addition to our normal cocktail room hours, our team will host pick-up events shortly following the release. Members will receive an email with detailed information regarding J. Carver Cocktail Room hours and special events for Club Member pick-up.

  • J. Carver Distillery has a limited number of Explores Club Memberships available due to the limited number of bottles in each Private Reserve Hand-Selected Barrel.

Carver Explorers Club Members to take advantage of these private barrel selections and commit to purchase at least 3 out of the 4 private barrel releases during the year.

  • As a micro distillery in Minnesota, state law only allows individuals to purchase one 750ml bottle per person per day directly from the distillery.
