It feels like I’m always taking a chance with online bourbon orders. Fake companies, damaged or wrong orders, lengthy delivery times, etc. Especially when it’s the best price you’ve seen on an item.... See more

Does not honor their pre-orders

If I had not previously received an order from El Cerrito Liquor without issue, this would be a one-star review.

I pre-ordered a bottle of Double Eagle Very Rare in April 2026, with the understanding that bottles were expected to ship in May. This was meant to be a very special gift for my husband's 20th wedding anniversary—the bottle was released the same year as we got married, and I was so excited to surprise him with it.

A few weeks into May, I reached out for an update and was told the bottles were expected to ship by the end of June. I gave them the benefit of the doubt and continued to wait.

After still receiving no shipping confirmation or proactive update, I reached out again. Instead of receiving a shipping update, I was simply told that my order had been canceled and the charge voided.

I never requested that my order be canceled.

I replied asking why the order had been canceled after waiting several months and whether it was due to an allocation issue or an error. I have received no response.

I understand that delays and allocation issues can happen, especially with a bottle like this. What I don't understand is allowing a customer to wait for months, providing revised shipping expectations, then canceling the order without explanation—and not responding when the customer asks why.

The pricing was fair, I genuinely wanted the bottle rather than a refund, and there was sentimental meaning behind this particular purchase. The entire experience has been incredibly disappointing, and the lack of communication is ultimately what prompted me to leave this review.
