ANNOUNCING SEASON 2!
REGISTRATION NOW CLOSED FOR
2023 PEACOCK PREFERRED MEMBERSHIPS
It’s time for Season Two of BW barrel selections that you can reserve, purchase upon release, and have shipped directly to your door in 41 states. (Please Note: only available in permissable shipping states). SEASON 2 REGISTRATION NOW CLOSED.
During Season One, our members enjoyed outstanding selections from New Riff, Wilderness Trail, Bardstown Bourbon Company, and Four Roses.
We are pleased to announce that our first bottle for 2023 will be from woman-owned Buzzard’s Roost.
Why Peacock Preferred? Well, just as the peahen carefully evaluates her peacock choice, the discriminating palates of Bourbon Women’s panel of whiskey experts led by Master Taster, Peggy Noe Stevens, and Bourbon Authority, Susan Reigler, select the finest barrels from featured distilleries.
Our in-house experts, along with talented distillery women, collaborate on signature barrel picks, which we have affectionately called Bourbon Women Peacock Preferred. It is scientifically documented that, in general, women can detect more aromas and flavors than men, so our panels naturally choose some delightfully complex whiskeys.
HOW IT WORKS
BW Peacock Preferred Annual Membership is limited to 150 individuals.
Each Peacock Preferred Annual Membership gives you the first opportunity to reserve, purchase, and enjoy four exclusive private selections of these very special, limited-edition single barrel Bourbons and Ryes. There is no waiting in line or risk of missing out.
If you are a Peacock Preferred member, you will be notified as each selection becomes available, at which time you will be able to go to the Peacock Preferred Link on the Bourbon Women website to purchase your reserved bottle through our retail partner. The cost of shipping directly to you will be calculated depending upon where you live.
The Peacock Preferred Single Annual Membership fee of $50 gives you access to reserve and the option to purchase 4 bottles (one of each selection). The Peacock Preferred Double Annual Membership fee of $75 gives you access to reserve and the option to purchase 8 bottles, (two of each selection) and assures your reservation.
NOTE: PRICES OF WHISKEYS PLUS SHIPPING ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THE PEACOCK PREFERRED MEMBERSHIP.

Peacock Preferred FAQ
Why isn’t my state on the shipping list?
Laws regarding shipments of alcoholic beverages vary widely from state to state. Even better, they are constantly changing. So, we are carefully monitoring changes in regulations. Your state may be added in the future. Or, alas, subtracted. But we’ll stay aware of any and all changes.
Can I join if my state is not on the shipping list?
Yes. Please write to susareigler@gmail.com for details.
How often will I get my bottles?
Our goal is to have 4 selections in 2023, beginning in January or February. When exactly they will arrive depends upon availability for selection and time from barrel pick to bottling.
