Murch's own whiskey club will once again be present at the 2017 Auction.  For many Murch parents, the Auction just wouldn't be the same without the opportunity to sample some of the best Whiskeys, Bourbons, Ryes, Scotches and other regional forms of our favorite brown liquor.

If you know Murch families that are new to the school or new to the Auction, please help spread the word about the Whiskey club.  We are always looking for new Founders to donate a bottle and help bartend throughout the event.  It's great fun and, for the first time last year, we crossed the gender barrier and had a female bartender [who totally helped reel in the donors]. 

Look for a list of requested whiskeys coming soon from our globe-trotting connoisseur Louis Yacob.  But, in the meantime, if you have a favorite bottle that you know you want to donate, just email murchwhiskey@gmail.com and let us know what it is.  I'm happy to report that we already have commitments for:
  1. Jameson Gold Reserve (thanks Ed Caspar & Courtney Woolridge)
  2. Whistle Pig Straight Rye 10 or 15 yr. (thanks Scott Kozar) 
We're off to a great start.  As with last year, if you'd like to be a Founder but don't have time to get to a liquor store, you can pay with PayPal and one of the Club Chairmen will pick up the bottle for you. More details on that coming soon with the list.

As always, Reach for the Best and remember - we do it for the kids!
