Forget the shot glass. Jack Daniel’s, world-famous whiskey maker, is now offering fans of its fare the ability to purchase it by the barrel.

The barrel equals between 240 and 260 bottles of its Single Barrel brand, The Independent reported. It sells for roughly $23,000, and comes in a sanded, varnished and personalized barrel — home-delivered.

Buyers get a whiskey that’s “curated solely for them,” as well as access to a private tasting of different blends in order to identify their personal favorite, The Independent reported.

They will also be honored as big-barrel buyers via a plaque on the Wall of Fame in the Jack Daniel’s distillery in Lynchburg, Tennessee, the newspaper reported.
