Nothing against the company. They seem very personable on the tv advert. (Even though they might be actors!) I just do not understand why one might "buy" whisky that is not going to be drunk. See... See more

Sadly, we've not had any previous contact with this reviewer. He hasn't replied when asked to provide details of his order or interaction with our business. This review, therefore, appears to be an unfair judgement of our company and not from a genuine experience.

We will gladly talk to the reviewer should he wish to discuss further.

Jon and his team were always very informative, professional and caring throughout the whole process. I now have my first cask, the first of many for sure!

Great investment, professional service & highly recommended

Bought a great cask from the guys at Macinnes Whiskey who were very knowledgeable and easy to deal with. Decided to move my daughters money out of her savings account and purchased a second cask as a medium term investment for her. Will probably buy some more whisky casks and definately use them again in the near future.
