what an opportunity it is to try these whiskies
Prices are good, and it is really great to be able to try whiskies that it would be very expensive or hard to obtain normally.
I know it is a little silly, but I would give 5 stars except that it seems to take a long time to receive the drams in the US.
Note: I am writing this during the COVID-19 pandemic, so things may be different normally.

Reply from Cheaper by the Dram
Hi Michael,
I am sorry that you were disappointed with the delivery time. There is only one company in the UK who can ship whisky to America and so we are confined by their shipping periods unfortunately. I do believe that Covid-19 has reduced air freight frequency as well so I am sure that does not help things. I do hope that you enjoy your dram and that we might be able to help you try some more whiskies in the future.
Excellent idea!
Quick service and a lovely personal note inside. My husband will be getting this for Father's Day tomorrow and I think he will love it! No way we could have bought a full-size bottle so this is a great idea!

Birthday Dram on lockdown
I ordered a couple of Drams for my Dad to celebrate his birthday in lockdown.
The order arrived in a lovely presentation box and looked good.
The order was delivered promptly and he thoroughly enjoyed, in fact enjoyed so much that he’s now ordered a couple more.
A prompt service and I will definitely order again

Closed Distillery Drams
Speedy delivery - good to get a dram from a long closed distillery at a reasonable price - some closed distillery bottlings are now silly prices and even a dram might be out of my price range, this was not, so pleased
