How can I determine delivery charges outside the UK?
Charges for delivery outside of the UK are often determined by the weight of the order; just add your chosen bottle(s) to the basket and proceed to the checkout – it will automatically work out all of the pricing for you before you go a step further!
Important note on customs charges:
Please note If shipping outside of the UK, your order is likely to be subject to Customs duty and taxes as it arrives in the destination country.
You will be contacted directly by Customs for this payment. Unfortunately we don’t know how much the charges will be. It’s always best to get in touch with your local customs office or government website for advice before ordering.
For gifts shipped internationally, the recipient may be liable for local Customs charges, so it’s worth checking in with them first.
Do you have a shop where I can place and collect my order?
As of October 8, 2025, our Tonbridge collection service has ceased operations and is no longer available. We’re ever so sorry about that.
But don’t worry, we’re still here, ready and waiting to get your favourite bottles delivered straight to your doorstep.

Product or stock questions
Limited bottles & release dates
We are equally excited as you are to release those limited bottles and we absolutely get that you don’t want to miss out on any exclusive offers.
However, unfortunately we’re not able to share the exact release dates with our customers, regardless of how much we would like to .
Our amazing Customer Service team simply doesn’t know when special release products go live until the very last minute and therefore they won’t be able to give you any specific information.
All we can do is recommend that you keep an eye on our new releases page.
Out of stock or discontinued products
Our buying team are always busy making sure we keep as many delicious boozes in stock as possible. Basically, as long as our suppliers have a bottle, we’ll keep it in stock. If something you’re after is listed as ‘sold out’ and you’d like to know when it is back in stock make sure to click the “notify when back in stock” button and leave us your email address.
If something is listed as ‘discontinued’, this very sadly means we don’t expect it back in stock. We keep these pages listed so that you can see our bottling notes and all the customer reviews.
Do the bottles come in a box?
We snap all our products as accurately as possible in our photostudio – if you see a box in the photo, we’ll certainly include it in your order.
No box? This usually means unfortunately we don’t have one to go with that particular bottle.
Gifts & recommendations
Corporate gifting
We can assist you in sending large orders to multiple addresses, just drop us an email and we’ll be happy to discuss the details with you.
Do you offer gift wrapping?
Unfortunately we don’t offer gift wrapping.
However we do offer gifting boxes that you can purchase with our bottles and they make for a great looking gift.
You can choose between our Oak Luxury Presentation Box and our elegant black Master of Malt Gift Box. Please add the bottle you would like to purchase to the basket first and then select the appropriate gift box at the checkout.
Can I include a gift message with my order?
Absolutely and it is free of charge to do so! A gift note can be added as an accessory when reviewing your basket prior to checkout.
If you miss this step, just contact our customer service team and we can add a message in for you, as long as you get in touch before the order is dispatched.
I am sending a gift, will you include an invoice with my order?
The vast majority of our orders are gifts, so we never include invoices unless specifically requested. However, if an order is being sent outside the UK then an invoice must be provided for Customs purposes, and this may be included on the outside of the box.
For gifts shipped internationally, the recipient may be liable for local Customs charges, so it’s worth checking in with them first.
I don't know anything about spirits! Please can you help?
Absolutely!! We are more than happy to provide recommendations. Just contact us and provide as much information as possible about the gift you are looking for (who it is for, your budget, what they have liked in the past, what type of thing you are looking for etc) and we will come back with our expert suggestions.
