my usual malt

I've been buying my usual single malt from them for about six years now. This time the bottle arrived fine but the delivery came a day late and nobody told me in advance. The price is about the same as last time. It's not a disaster but I'd have liked a text.

The gift wrap was cute

Honestly the gift wrap option at checkout was the best bit, my mate loved it. The rum arrived in a box with a card, really nice touch. Delivery took a day longer than I expected but it's fine, would order again for birthdays.

good first order

Really happy with my first order here, the checkout was quick and easy to follow. The gin I wanted was in stock and the site let me pick a delivery slot which I liked. Only thing is the delivery arrived a bit later than the window they showed, but it was still fine and I'd use them again.

knows his bourbon

I've been drinking bourbon for twenty years and I was looking for a limited release that's hard to find. This shop had it listed and the price was fair compared to the secondary market. The bottle arrived well packed and the stock details were accurate, which is rare. Ordering was easy and the delivery arrived on the day they said.

Needed a specific cognac

I needed a particular cognac for a family anniversary and it was hard to find locally. The site had it but the description said it was a different age statement than the bottle I got. The bottle itself is good and the delivery was prompt, it just wasn't quite what I'd expected from the listing.

Been ordering for years

I've been ordering my gin and sherry from them for years, mostly around Christmas. This year the box took a bit longer than usual and I had to ring to check on it, which was a nuisance on a busy week. They answered quickly and sorted it out. The prices are still fair and the range is good.

The tasting notes were spot on

The tasting notes on the mezcal I ordered were really accurate, which is what made me pick it over other sites. They described the smoke level exactly as it tasted. Checkout was simple and the bottle came through the post in good order. I've been a regular buyer of agave spirits for a while and this is my go to for them now.

Best price on the wine i wanted

Checked a few sites for the wine I wanted and this was the best price by a good margin. Checkout worked fine and the wine was delivered on the day they said. Would happily order again.

better than the local offy for a last minute order

Compared it with the offy round the corner and this was cheaper on the gin I wanted and it turned up the next day. Checkout took about two minutes on my phone while I was waiting for the kettle, no faff at all. Will use them again.

good value for the money

I'm careful with money so I checked the prices on the main bottles against a few other places before buying. This site came out cheapest for the brand I wanted and there was no extra charge for delivery over the minimum spend. Order arrived in two working days with the bottles well packed.

good value for regular orders

Buy a case of beer and spirits most months so price matters to me. The site has the best regular prices I've found, and the delivery is sorted without any extra fee over the minimum spend. The bottles arrive well packed and the ordering system remembers my last order, which saves time.

Bought a bottle of rum for a mate

Bought a bottle of dark rum for my mate's leaving do on Friday. Ordered on the bus, tracking showed it was out for delivery by lunch and it arrived before 6. Quick and no bother.

Way cheaper than the offy

Found this when I was looking for vodka for a party and it was way cheaper than the offy near me. Quick order, got a text when it was out for delivery. Tasty, would get again.

needed something for a wedding

We needed a decent bottle of prosecco and a few gifts for a wedding weekend and didn't have time to go into town. Tried a couple of other sites first but this one had the best range and the order process was simple. Everything turned up on time and nothing got broken, so that's me sorted.

Better than the big supermarket option

Compared it with a couple of other wine and spirits sites before picking this one and the prices were lower on most bottles I wanted. Ordered on a Friday evening, it arrived the following Tuesday in good nick and the bottles were wrapped properly. Would order again without thinking twice about it.

proper range of craft spirits

I know my way around craft spirits and I was after a few smaller distilleries I couldn't get locally. The range here is better than most sites I've used, with plenty of small batch gins and rums. The price on a couple of the rarer bottles is higher than elsewhere and the return process for a damaged item was slow, but the selection makes up for it.

Sorted for a birthday

Needed a bottle of something nice for my sister's birthday and this site was the first I found with the one she likes. The order went through fine. It took a while to arrive though and I had to wait in for it, which was a bit annoying.

Compared a few places first

Compared a few places for a bottle of champagne before buying and the price here was the lowest by a fair margin. The delivery was quick and everything was packed tightly so nothing knocked about. Good value and no fuss, I'd use them again.

Needed a good bottle for a dinner

We had friends coming for dinner and I needed a decent Italian red I couldn't get locally. The site had a good spread of Italian wines with clear tasting notes. The order arrived in two days, packed well with no breakages. Really pleased with it.

ordered from the train

Ordered a bottle of whisky on the train home and the site worked fine on my phone. Found the one I wanted quickly and checkout took two minutes. Arrived the next afternoon in perfect condition, which is what I wanted.
