2018 Menu

Greetings Murch Whiskey Club Founders,

Auction night is fast approaching and once again, we're ready serve up our premium whiskeys.  After extensive research and laborious tastings, we have a final menu.  You can view the list on this link. (or paste this in to your browswer https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1qChZNMoWDvXhG1syjdWaGRWpA-vXjL6Skl4XFxbbg5M/edit?usp=sharing)

Louis has coordinated with Magruder's, Calvert Woodley and Bassins to make sure these bottles are available.  Only Magruder's offers Murch a kick-back on everything we buy there, so if you shop there, please ask for Bill Townsend or George so they can give us credit.

As always, here's how it works.
  • To be a Founder, all you have to do is donate a bottle off the list or one of your own favorites.
  • Once you're a Founder, you get to sample all the other whiskeys all night long on auction night. Plus;
    • Your name gets mentioned on the printed tasting menu at the auction
    • If we have any leftovers, you'll get invited to the exclusive "finishing off" events
  • If you'd prefer to shop for the bottle yourself, just put your name next to the bottle of your choice in the "Founder" column on the google sheets list and then go buy it!  I'll make arrangements with you to pick it up or drop it off.
  • If you'd rather have me get the bottle for you, just let me know and you can PayPal me the donation amount.
    • Please use the "Send Friends" feature of PayPal with your linked bank account so neither of us pays a fee.
    • Don't forget to add 10% DC tax
    • My paypal account name is elijah.marentette@gmail.com or 6175130660.
That's all there is to it.  You can email me with questions or suggestions.  Bottoms up!

Do it for the kids and Reach for the Best!
Elijah, Louis, August & Dave

2018 - Another Epic Bar

As of early March, this year's menu already contains some exquisite and exclusive bottles.  Whistle Pig has donated 2 bottles, Chatter has donated a bottle.

Murch Dad Sandy Wood, owner of One-Eight Distilling, is donating a bottle of something special before it even hits store shelves!

Several founders have banded together to procure rare and greatly unavailable bottles.  So far, we have:

1.      Braeval Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky 1994 – 22 years old, only 222 bottle were ever made and Murch has one.
2.      Samaroli Blend 2008 – 86 proof, 8 years old, only 600 ever bottled and Murch has one
Plus, we're looking forward to our usual list of premium whiskeys.  Check back here regularly to see what's been donated and get ready for auction night!
