You are joining a community, not a mailing list.
Four times a year, a bottle arrives that most people spend years chasing. No searching, no refreshing, no missing out. Every Chapter is curated by us, from the barrel selection down to what goes in the box.
Wayfarers is a small group of people who take this seriously. Members hear about Chapters before anyone else, get first call on the rare stuff, and are the first invited when we put on a tasting.
We only take as many members as we have bottles for, so places open as they come free, and they go in order of registration. No Chapter is ever offered outside the membership. Chapters always start their journey mid month.
The process
Simple. Transparent. No surprises.
Register your interest
When places open for the next Chapter, registered members hear first. Places go in order of registration, and you are charged when yours is confirmed.
Each quarter
The next Chapter is revealed to members before anyone else, and you are billed shortly before it ships. You always know what is coming.
Your choice
Continue, or stop. No lock in, no minimum. Cancellations take effect once your current Chapter has shipped.
Delivered
Chapters start their journey mid month, tracked and insured, anywhere in Australia.
Members first
Your Chapter is only half of it.
Beyond the Chapter we curate for you each quarter, every allocated American whiskey we bring into Australia goes to members before it goes anywhere else. Limited by the distillery, allocated by demand, and gone before most people know they landed. This is the part most members join for, and the reason they stay.
