You’ve looked for it. We looked for it, too.

Columbia has some fantastic spots to grab a pour and even a few great local distilleries. But a true, community-focused bourbon club? A place to discover rare bottles, share curated flights, and connect with fellow enthusiasts?

It didn’t exist.

Until now.

Welcome to Cork & Cask, Columbia's first club dedicated to curated bourbon experiences. We're not a bar you visit, but a community you join. We're founded on a simple idea: the best way to enjoy a great bottle is by sharing it with great people.

💡
We are just getting started, and we're launching as a "build in public" project. That means we're starting with exclusive, members-only pop-up tastings right here in Columbia, and our first members won't just *join* the club—they'll help *build* it.

Become a Founding Member

This is a one-time opportunity to get in on the ground floor. Our Founding Members are the pioneers who will help shape the future of Cork & Cask.

Being a Founding Member means:

  • First Access to Tasting Dates: You'll be the first to know and get the first chance to reserve your spot at our exclusive, members-only pop-up tastings in Columbia.
  • Exclusive Founding Member Perks: We're locking in perks for our founders that will never be offered again, including limited guest passes to introduce friends to the club.
  • Help Shape the Club: You'll be part of the "build in public" journey. Through our member newsletter, you'll get behind-the-scenes access as we scout venues, curate our first tasting flights, and grow the collection.

What We Do: The Pop-Up Tasting Experience

This isn't a stuffy classroom, and it's not a crowded bar shouting over a TV. Our pop-up tastings are curated, social experiences. Imagine a private event, in a unique Columbia venue, where you and a small group of fellow members are guided through a hand-picked flight of bourbons.

We focus on "Missouri-first" pours, rare releases, and hidden gems you won't find on every shelf. It's the perfect way to apply your knowledge, discover your next favorite bottle, and do it all in a community that's as passionate about this as you are.

We're starting here in Columbia, MO, with one mission: to build the best bourbon club in the state, one pour at a time.

We're ready. Are you in?
