Bringing Whisky Lovers Together

Join us as we hunt for the absolute best in small-batch, limited, or rare whiskies from around the world!

The International Whisky Guild (IWG) is a subscription membership that allows you to participate in the growing community of whisky enthusiasts in Calgary and its surrounding communities. As part of the IWG, you’ll get to take part in exclusive whisky events with a group of like-minded individuals.

You’ll also receive a bottle of excellent whisky from all over the world every 2 months to enjoy as you please!

What’s the Goal of the International Whisky Guild?

Don’t get us wrong— we love scotch. However, there are whiskies from around the world that excite us! The goal of the IWG is to search the dark corners of the globe to discover forgotten barrels in search of the most incredible and unique whiskies to be had, and then share them!

Plus, Guild members have access to their Charter Membership, which means they receive 10% off all regularly priced whisky from 5VINES. Members also have access to exclusive members’ only whisky selections and VIP treatment for all whisky-related special events.

FAQ & More Details

Why is the cost up to $120?

Expect to pay between $60 to $120 per bottle (+GST). Because we haven’t negotiated all of the club’s offerings at the time of this writing, we can’t offer you a flat rate. We don’t want to limit ourselves too much either as we know some of the small-batch, craft whiskies aren’t exactly inexpensive.

Members should expect to pay an average of $90/bottle. Some month’s offerings may be lower, and some may be higher. You’ll only be charged according to the price of the offering. We’ll work within this budget, and if for any reason we have something unique and rare outside of this budget, we’ll contact you to get your feedback.

Please note that as an International Whisky Guild member, you automatically receive 10% off every single offering and everything we stock on our shelves.

Do you offer delivery?

Yes, we can coordinate this with our courier and provide you with rates. Note that a person of legal drinking age must receive and sign for this package every month.

How do I cancel?

We require at least one month’s notice as many whiskies will be special ordered in advance for you and the rest of the guild members. Unfortunately, we cannot validate cancellations outside of this period.

Please contact us to cancel your membership.

When will my order be ready?

Expect to receive an email notifying you that your order is ready by the 15th of every month.

What if the whiskies don’t fit my taste profile?

We will do our best to satisfy your tastes but trust that we’ll find some delicious whiskies. If you don’t like the whisky, we encourage you to explore some craft cocktails you can make to elevate the flavour profile to something that will suit your tastes.
