Love it! However, distribution to the members in so many locations could be challenging 🤔

That would be fun…

I'm in. My local barrel group just did a pick few months ago

Would love to but seems a logistical challenge.

Could we perhaps identify and create some regional buying groups? Maybe pick 4-5 cities, see who would be interested in buying in those cities, put a "captain" in charge and then it could help with the logistics of collection and pickup?

D2 - depends on state, but lots of whiskey groups do these buys and work with a liquor store or distributor to get it done legally

Count me in!!

I’m in too, but as others have mentioned, I’m not sure how shipping and distribution would work

How important is having a “name brand” on your resume? For context, undergrad at a top 10 non ivy that typically gets less name recognition and work experience at a T2 (LEK, P-EY, Kearney, etc).

Will adcoms / future job interviewers view this as a downgrade?
