OUR PRODUCTS
We will endeavour to ensure that the information displayed on this website is current and accurate. However, we cannot be held liable for any errors. This includes stock levels, images, descriptions and prices. Please contact us before you place an order if you have a specific requirement.
All tasting notes are a subjective view of a product. All images are for illustrative purposes only – your product may vary slightly from those images.
Products containing alcohol can only be purchased by persons aged 18 years old and over, accordingly the purchaser and recipient of products on the Website must be 18 years old or over.
We reserve the right to refuse any order you place with us. We may, in our sole discretion, limit or cancel quantities purchased per person, per household or per order. These restrictions may include orders placed by or under the same customer account, the same credit card, and/or orders that use the same billing and/or shipping address. In the event that we make a change to or cancel an order, we may attempt to notify you by contacting the e-mail and/or billing address/phone number provided at the time the order was made.
If we cancel your order in part or in its entirety, you will receive a refund for the full purchase price of the part of the order that has been cancelled.
Orders must be paid for in advance. Once you have placed an order online, we will send you a confirmation email. We will contact you if there are any problems with stock, pricing or delivery. If you have made an error in your order please contact us and we will take steps to amend it before dispatch where possible. A second email will be sent when the order is dispatched. This confirms stock availability, price and payment.
PRICING
All prices are quoted in pounds sterling and are inclusive of UK VAT. Prices and offers may vary and may only be available for limited periods. All prices and offers are subject to availability and may be withdrawn or amended at our discretion. We reserve the right to change the prices of any item at any time without prior notice.
The price of the product will be the price as indicated on the order page when you placed your order. We will not be obliged to fulfil orders for products that are priced incorrectly on the Website. We will take steps to rectify errors as soon as possible when we become aware.

We can only deliver to UK domestic addresses.
We will process your order as soon as possible. Orders are typically delivered by the courier within 2-3 working days after being dispatched by us. There may also be occasions when delivery will take longer due to factors outside our control.
We use Royal Mail as our courier. For items sent using Royal Mail Age Verification Service, a Challenge 25 policy is operated by Royal Mail and, as such they may require valid photographic ID as proof of age upon delivery. Visit www.royalmail.com/terms-and-conditions for more information.
Over certain busy periods (e.g. Christmas) deliveries may take longer as the distillery may be closed and courier services may be suspended or delayed. Please contact us if you have an urgent order at this time.
