The price I paid for the Whiskey purchased was lower than any other on-line provider I could find. The delivery of my whiskey was very prompt and the item was in perfect condition.

Hi,
Sorry this wasn’t what you expected. The item ordered was the Crawford’s 3 Star Special Reserve Miniature — the listing title and product page clearly state it’s a miniature, including the size. We aim to keep listings crystal clear and appreciate the feedback.

Exceptional Service and Rare Whisky Found!

I was on vacation in Scotland and had been searching everywhere for the Nikka Yoichi Sherry & Sweet Distillery Exclusive Whisky, which is almost impossible to find, especially in North America. While on the train from Edinburgh to London, I came across Glenbotal and reached out to them via WhatsApp.

Their team quickly confirmed that they had the last bottle in stock and assured me it could be delivered before I returned home. To my surprise, the order arrived at my hotel within 24 hours of placing it!

I was beyond impressed, not only that Glenbotal had such a rare whisky in stock, but also with their outstanding customer service, fast communication, and incredibly quick delivery.

If you’re looking for hard-to-find whiskies and want a company that truly goes above and beyond, I can’t recommend Glenbotal enough. I will absolutely be ordering from them again.

Rare whiskies and happy customers are what keep us going, and your message has really lifted our spirits. We can’t wait to help you again in the future. 🥃✨
