After reading mixed reviews I was very sceptical about ordering from this company. They had the rare bottles I wanted so I took the gamble and I’m really pleased I did! Shipping was very quick. Can’t... See more

This was a quantum leap of faith for me…

This was a quantum leap of faith for me to spend that much money on my favourite whisky. This was well founded as the bottle and the box was intact.
I will most definitely use this site again.
The whole experience was great.
Thank you

Torrid all round and continuing on £800 bottle

Torrid all round!

Purchased a bottle of Nikka Taketsuru 21 Year Old ~£800 and been nothing but pain since.

Bottle was delivered, looking like it had been the match day ball in an England v Scotland rugby match. I informed them this was sub-par, asked them to please collect their product, and refund me and that's when the litany of excuses began. 1] "unfortunately this one seems to have fallen through the cracks" 2] "I'm afraid that we can't arrange collections for weekends, however if you want to send the bottle back yourself and let me know the delivery cost I will have you reimbursed" - which I did 2] Eventual refund ex-return postage many days after return was recorded as arrived 3] Chased refund on postage and insurance initially told no "The full price of your order plus shipping was already refunded." 4] When shown their own email saying send and we will refund "So sorry that was my mistake" 4] Still waiting despite being told "I'll have my boss send that over ASAP".... The lady their end no doubt will email me yet another "explanation" soon.

Honestly its draining....Note to self - save myself the aggro and go elsewhere

I purchased a 0.7L Highland Grouse…

I purchased a 0.7L Highland Grouse ceramic decanter.

Firstly, when it was delivered by DPD it was delivered to my neighbour even though my wife was at home all day so the presumption is that the delivery driver didn't knock very hard at the door if at all. I have 3 dogs in the house and had the knock been loud enough they would've alerted my wife. That said he did leave a card in the letterbox saying where he had left the package.

Secondly, once the package had been retrieved from the neighbour my wife said she could actually smell Whiskey. Upon opening, the seal that holds the decanter stopper in place was loose and obviously the stopper had moved causing a leak. I believe only a small leak occurred as the box for the decanter is not tainted but I haven't actually seen the decanter myself as yet as I'm a long distance lorry driver and won't be home until the weekend.

This is a Christmas gift for my father so I am a little disappointed but hopefully that is the extent of the issue. Until I see it myself I don't know if there is any damage to the decanter or the stopper, hopefully not and I can tape the seal tight so that it can be gift wrapped.

Communication through Old and Rare Whiskey was excellent, information through the whole process was perfect so thank you for that.

Excellent Service

Was a little sceptical having read some of the reviews, but no problems encountered. Placed an order just before Christmas so was not expecting an immediate reply, and package arrived via DPD yesterday. The genuine article, well packaged, and securely sent...very happy with the all round service.
