The group I'm part of is a private group with closed membership. <br /><br />Anyone can obviously start a group like this; all it takes is a couple like minded enthusiasts to kick things off. Distilleries have barrel programs that anyone can participate in but it does take commitment because the barrel will run into the thousands of dollars to acquire. There are large online forums dedicated to whiskey, etc. such as Straightbourbon.com or Bourbonenthusiast.com. If you have not visited those, that's a good place to start as there may be folks local to you that also visit those sites. I'm happy to share some of the logistics with you if you get that far.

Not sure I would buy a whole barrel just for myself as that can be quite a lot of bottles of a single selection.
