You can just go to the swag shop and pay to dip your own bottles anytime. I did on our last trip. * Archived Message

Previous Message I signed up in Oct. 2019 and according to my account my barrel should be mature sometime between Oct. 2025 and Apr. 2027. Not sure if that's a standard length of time for stuff to mature or not. When you go down you do a tour and they have a nametag with an Ambassador ribbon on it. And then you get the bottles with your name and you get to dip them, which AFAIK regular tour goers don't get to do. and every year at Christmas they send you a little something as a gift, like an ornament or a deck or cards or something (though you can opt out like I did)
