The 2017 list is here!

Once again, Murch Whiskey club aficionado in residence, Louis Yacob worked with local retailers to put together this year's epic list. You'll see some old favorites as well as some new additions to our bar. The list is located here.  Take a moment to choose a great bottle to donate to Murch. If you don't see your favorite brand here, feel free to add it. Your donation is your ticket to enjoy tastings of all the premium whiskeys on auction night.

This year's menu has some pricey (but delicious) options on it.  Teamwork is encouraged, so pair up with a friend (or two) and you all reap the benefits of being a Founder!

This year, to make it even easier to continue the Murch Whiskey Club tradition, you can be a Founder without ever leaving your home.  The club's chairmen will pick up your selection for you!

If you want to take advantage of this great option

1. Choose your whiskey by putting your name next to it on the list
2. Send the amount via PayPal to Elijah Marentette at 6175130660.
3. Please use the "Send Money to Friends and Family" feature and use your bank account to fund the transfer so nobody pays a fee.
4. You're done until Auction Night!

If you're in more of a shopping mood, please visit Magruder's, Calvert Woodley or Paul's to select your donation.  Mention that your purchase is for the Murch Whiskey Club at Magruder's and they will make a cash donation to Murch based on the total sales of whiskey.

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!
