Denver's The Block Distilling Co. Opens Registration for Exclusive 2025 225 Bottle Club

DENVER, CO -- The Block Distilling Co. (The Block) is excited to announce that registration for the 7th year of its exclusive bottle club, the 225 Club, is officially open! This sought-after membership offers a year filled with premium spirits, unique experiences, and special member benefits.

225 Club members receive eight bottles comprised of four unique specialty spirits, invitations to quarterly release parties featuring intimate distiller-led tastings, and access to a private members’ portal filled with extended backstories, video content, curated cocktail recipes, tutorials, and a members-only online shop. Members also enjoy discounts on merchandise and tasting room offerings, early access to public releases, and the chance to connect with a welcoming community of fellow spirits enthusiasts. 

Each quarter, 225 Club members, along with a guest, are invited to exclusive release parties that showcase the featured spirit. These events include a brief discussion with the distillers, specialty cocktails crafted with the new release, taster pours of the new spirit, and thoughtfully paired cuisine from curated local pop-ups. During the gatherings, members receive their two 375ml bottle allocations for the release—one to enjoy and one to save—and can shop a selection of previous 225 Club exclusives. Examples of previous releases include Bottled in Bond Corn Whiskey, Peach Brandy Barrel-Finished Winter Gin, Herbal Liqueur, and Absinthe. 

In 2025, 225 Club members will receive a specialty single-barrel whiskey, a one-off gin or vodka, a liqueur such as amaro or herbal liqueur, and a mystery creation. Reserved for club members, these spirits will not be available to the general public this year. Each release is experimental, showcasing new flavors, techniques, and innovative concepts developed by The Block’s head distillers.

Co-founder Kraig Weaver shared the inspiration behind the 225 Club, saying, “We started The Block to celebrate the joy of discovering new flavors and sharing exceptional bottles with close friends. The 225 Club lets us extend that experience to our members, offering them exclusive access to our limited spirits and a deeper connection to what we do. Their feedback has been instrumental in helping us refine and perfect recipes for future full-scale releases.”

225 Club members will also receive an exclusive custom-made leather and brass keychain to signify their membership status so they can receive a 15% discount on merchandise, $3 off tasting room cocktails, and $2 off flagship bottles whenever visiting the tasting room. Club members also gain early access to The Block’s annual whiskey releases and additions to the popular “Every Damn Drop” series, showcasing single-barrel specialty spirits. 

Named for the number of bottles extracted from each distillery barrel, the 225 Club is an incredible value at $225. Limited to only 225 members, those interested are encouraged to re-join or join early to secure their space. 2025’s 225 Club membership can be purchased in the tasting room and online, and the first 2025 release, a Tropical Amaro, and member event are scheduled for Thursday, February 27.
