Rare Barrels. Reserved for Members.
Death Valley Oak Barrel Society is a quarterly bourbon membership offering private barrel selections, a numbered glass program, and exclusive tasting events — curated for serious enthusiasts at Tobacco & Liquor Express in Pahrump, NV.
Everything a Serious Enthusiast Deserves
Three tiers, one community. Every membership level unlocks a curated set of benefits designed around rare bourbon, real events, and people who care.
Private Barrel Selections
Every quarter, our team selects an exclusive private barrel — not available anywhere else. Standard and Premium members receive their allocation automatically.
Quarterly Tasting Events
Glass-holder members enjoy up to 30 pours per quarter across six exclusive tasting nights — held the first two Fridays of each month at the store.
Allocated Bottle Drawing
Standard and Premium members are automatically entered into our quarterly raffle for the right to purchase highly allocated and hard-to-find bourbons at MSRP.
Numbered Glass Program
Basic and Premium members receive a personalized numbered glass — your permanent seat at every tasting event, etched and yours for as long as your membership is active.
BBQ Experiences with Mike Starr
Select tasting events feature live BBQ by Mike Starr of Blazing Star BBQ — an award-winning pitmaster pairing world-class smoked meats with premium pours.
A Community of Collectors
Connect with fellow bourbon enthusiasts, see who's attending upcoming events, and be part of a private membership built for people who take their whiskey seriously.

How to Join the Society
Three steps, one quarter at a time. No auto-renewals, no surprises — just bourbon and community on your own terms.
Choose Your Tier
Select Basic ($50), Standard ($150), or Premium ($200) based on how deep you want to go. Each tier unlocks a different set of benefits — glass-only, bottle allocation, or the full experience.
Pay Quarterly
Memberships are billed once per quarter — never auto-renewed. You manually re-enroll each quarter. All prices are final and include tax. Standard and Premium members provide their shirt size at signup.
Pick Up Your Bottles & Attend Events
Once the quarter begins, your allocation is confirmed, tastings are scheduled, and barrel picking events go live. Pick up your bottles within the 30-day window and attend glass events — the first two Fridays every month.
World-Class BBQ Meets Premium Bourbon
Select Death Valley Oak Barrel Society tasting events feature live BBQ by Mike Starr of Blazing Star BBQ — an award-winning pitmaster who brings competition-level smoked meats to every session.
When smoke and oak meet, something rare happens. Our members experience bourbons the way they were meant to be enjoyed — alongside real food, real people, and the kind of atmosphere you can only find here in Death Valley country.
"There's nothing quite like pairing a single-barrel private pick with competition-smoked brisket at midnight. That's what this society is built for."
