If you live in the bourbon bubble then this may not be for you. Most things I can buy cheaper locally. There are some rarities where prices are cheaper for some reason. If you want liquor from smaller distillers then this might be for you. They carry big brands too but you can probably get it locally.
Free shipping is the only real perk that I enjoyed and they kept messing that up and I would have to contact them and get them to reset it. One time this happened while trying to get the Flaviar barrel pick of Woodford Double oaked. By the time they fixed it the bottles were sold out.
If they sell out that fast they should do more picks. My other bourbon club has probably done 10 barrel picks in the last year of whiskey and usually they sell out in a month unless the shipping is ridiculous. So if that was the case here then it would be worth being a member.
The samples are so limited in choice and often very cheap bottles are paired with more expensive ones in a tasting box so the value isn’t what it seems usually, especially if you calculate it per ounce. There are trustworthy Facebook groups where you can get samples cheaper and of harder to find stuff and get it shipped.
Customer service has been fairly quick to deal with issues but I would expect these things to be automated more like my free shipping being automatically credited back to my account so I can order something else.
Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend
