Second delivery received with an extra, very pleased now as I have lots of different malts and burbons to try out. Never thought in a million years I'd be able to afford a bottle of The Macallan and... See more

Great selection of whiskey samples at good prices, just brilliant to be able to try whiskeys that I wouldn't be able to afford otherwise (or very very rarely at least). Only arrived today and I've already tucked into my two 30 year old samples! Nice to use these guys over the big boys like master of malt too.

Small wonder!
Thanks for the samples which I found to be superb. The choice was excellent and prices were great too. The only downside is that I could not buy more of the same, but that may be to do with my liking of a particular whisky. Nice work guys.

Thanks David, unfortunately since many drams are limited editions once they’re gone theyre gone, although we do now have the new version of what you were after, hope you enjoyed your drams! Brian

As usual, Brian went the extra mile to get our order completed - before he went on holiday no less!
And he kindly included an extra sample for us to try.
Fantastic service, reliable, friendly and helpful.

Samples arrived well packaged and well presented with a couple of chocolates and a free sample which was a nice surprise.
Website offers sample packs of various themes (by distillery) or could add individually. Very useful if you would like to explore a particular style or distillery.

Swift delivery good prices
Order was processed and dispatched quickly by the company, arrived safely and well packaged. There is a great choice of samples, I am genuinely pleased to have found this company as I was able to not only get some great present ideas for a birthday but will allow me to try new brands I haven't used before, my normal shops tend to have limited amounts of sample bottles.
