A great club, a great experience!

I’ve been a member from very early on and have always been impressed by the variety and value for money offered by the club. I’ve received several whiskies I’d never have tried and always look forward to the next surprise bottle. I’ve also purchased several additional bottles over the years outside of the usual subscription, including the 12 days of Christmas selection, again all at exceptional value. On the odd occasion when I’ve had a query I’ve always found Dan to be very responsive. I highly recommend this club to anyone who is a whisky lover, or who wants to become one by sampling more than the usual off the shelf whisky, or as a great gift to share with a loved one.

Absolute gamechanger for whiskey lovers!

I have been a member for around 6 months now and absolutely love this club. I am just getting into whiskey and find this a great way to experience whiskeys I would never have thought of trying, nor would I have paid the high prices for them. Fortunately, Summerton let's me try these exclusive types of whiskey for a lower price and has expanded my experience greatly.

I have 2 bottles which I recieved in the December delivery that I am looking forward to sharing with my family and I know they will really appreciate the privilege as they taste amazing.

I also love the surprise of the delivery and not knowing what you will get until you open the box. My wife won't let me open one now unless shes there to see what it is too!

Always great service and the online chat groups are great to get information and be part of this community, I cant recommend them enough and would recommend them to family and friends without hesitation

The whisky club you need to join

I joined the club because I wanted to try new whisky. You might think this is just another whisky subscription but it's not - it's a club. Dan is a great guy who does so much to make members feel welcome. He carefully chooses the whisky to make sure it meets the highest standards. Sometimes you might not get a bottle that is to your taste but that's what happens when you give someone your whisky spending money. Whisky has over 400 flavour compounds, so regularly finding interesting bottles that pleases everyone is not going to happen. I chalk it up to learning about whisky and I'm always glad.

Having joined back in October 2018 I've had a lot of bottles from the club. I've also met Dan many times and there are always opportunities throughout the year. You get a sense of what one person's effort and enthusiasm really feels like. The hard work and passion that goes into making this a community is what keeps me coming back for more. The whisky is a nice addition too 🥃😁

This is the best whisky club by far, the effort Dan puts in to get great whisky for the club bottles is unsurpassed and the lengths he will go to to ensure your experience is of the highest standards has to be seen to be believed, what a bloke, what a club!!!

Amazing whisky club

I’ve been a member of Summerton whisky club for around a year now and it has been a truly magical experience.

Everything is well organised and the whisky I have received to date has been excellent. Not only is it a wonderful club but it has a wonderful community of members who I had the pleasure of meeting at the Summerton whisky festival.

Highly recommend the club for people who want to receive a surprise bottle every 2 months that offers superb value.

Total Shambles

Good afternoon,

Originally I joined the club in early December and then received a phone call to ask if I wanted the December bottle to which I said yes. I was then charged for the bottle and sent dodgy shipping details.

I was then phoned again last week under some odd excuse that they hadn't been shipped but would be on the 20th.

I was then sent another dodgy shipping email with details, claiming to use the tracking link for updates, only there is no tracking link attached.

I have responded to that email but it bounces back as not recognised.

I have received nothing from Royal Mail to say this is in transit. All I have had is a couple of dodgy emails and a couple of random blokes phoning me from mobile numbers late in the evening.

They may be the single worst provider that I have ever dealt with.

I am writing off the £59, as I doubt that I will ever get this whisky. A total shambles from start to finish, I genuinely cannot understand how they are rated so highly, given my personal experience.

In response to Summerton Whisky. You are correct that shipping was due to take place on 20th. You neglected to say that I paid on the 12th and was promised it by the 20th. You have also sent me a separate email saying that the issue was due to a warehouse issue. I am not complaining about an order today. I am complaining that I paid on the 12th received an order and delivery confirmation and it never arrived. I was then informed of the issue and told a new order would be sent on 20th. The tracking email has no link and bounces back as invalid. So please stop lying I have emails to back this up. I have had 2 phone calls and 9 emails from you so far, when all I wanted was whisky.

It is 20:30 on a Saturday evening and I am being pestered by phone calls from Dan, from Summerton Whisky Club. I have never known anything like it. Genuinely tantamount to harassment.

Dan, I didn't miss it. There wasn't one. I should know, I've had that many emails from you its unbelievable. I am happy that my review is 100% truthful. I paid you £59.95 on 12th December. I have had nothing for it.

You've just edited your last response to try and make me look bad 😂. Do you not know how Trustpilot works?

Dan, blow me.

Shane, you have complained on 20th that we said the bottle will be shipped by the 20th, as is explained on our website and we have done?
The first time you contacted us about any of this was two hours ago, and despite it being the Saturday afternoon before Christmas, you got a reply with your tracking code within an hour. And you can see that your bottle is due for delivery on Monday.

Unfortunately in working hard to get our deliveries out early for Christmas (as you know from the website and our emails to you they normally ship on 20th of the delivery month - you explained to me you had read that when we spoke) we found an error on the system with your delivery, which was why I called you to ascertain what was happening...we found the issue and sent a replacement to ensure it arrived with you for Christmas, which you can see from the tracking code will happen.
Should I not have rang you and just ignored the problem, so you wouldn't get your whisky early?

And yes, I rang you from my mobile, as I did it as soon as I found there was an issue....sorry that I was working late to ensure everyone got their whisky in time for Christmas.

So you have left a 1 star review because, despite you signing up after the cut-off date, I wanted to do something nice for you for Christmas. But when I found out there was an issue I rang you immediately to fix it and sent a replacement in time for Christmas.

All you had to do was ask and I would happily have explained what was going on and provided your tracking details...as I have done this afternoon the only time you have reached out.

(Please be aware that we only have access to @SummertonClub.com emails, so if you email anyone else we can't help).


Shane, in response to your update...we did not promise to deliver by 20th, it was by Christmas. I'm sorry about a tracking email that does not work, I do not know about that. You have contacted us for the first time this afternoon and I have sent you a response with your tacking code, please read it and use that tracking code.
You will still get your whisky by Christmas as I promised, it is arriving on Monday.

And yes, I do care that you get your whisky, so I have tried to reach out to talk to you after you wrote on here as you appear to have missed my reply to your email and want you make sure you have your tracking code so you can see the bottle is on its way to you.


See, this is why I wanted to talk to you, as using this area is very slow way of providing you with your information. I have sent the email to you again, hopefully it comes through and you will have your tracking code.
And yes, as it states on the website, payment is normally taken for the subscription on 5th, with bottles picked up on the 20th. We got you in late and and you are part of the normal delivery cycle now, with your bottle arriving on Monday, so all is working as expected and as promised.


Shane I'm trying to make sure you have your tracking code, this is the only way you appear to be willing to receive information from us...therefore here is your tracking code: IV856875537GB
(And yes, I have edited my response so you can get this information, if that makes you or me look bad, fine. I care more about you getting your whisky than anything else)

A great whisky club community

I have been a member for a number of years and would highly recommend this club. A very different bottle every two months from distilleries all over the world, often exclusive bottlings just for the club. A great community amongst the members sharing experiences and tasting notes of whiskies that the members have tried, always positive and genuine comments. And if that's not enough, our own festival every year to enjoy meeting up with other members, and tasting great whisky

This is a great club for whisky…

This is a great club for whisky drinking enthusiasts. It’s great value and the quality of the bottles in superb overall. Sometimes you get one that’s not up your street but it’s about trying different whiskies that you light not go and buy yourself anyway. And lots of limited editions for the club solely. Great value, great club, great festival and above all, great people.

My review

I've been a member of Summerton since late December 23, and my only regret is that I didn't join up sooner.
Every 2 months I receive a full size bottle of quality whisky that could be sourced from anywhere in the world at a price point that that cannot be found elsewhere; each one is a delight. It's a fantastic way to either start a collection of unusual whiskys, or sample your way around the world, ideally with friends on delivery day.
There's a thriving, friendly community of members too with a Discord and Facebook group, which bring together a wealth of information about whisky and other subjects.
Dan has done a fantastic job of creating and nurturing this club, not only organizing the annual Summerton Whisky Festival, but also travelling around the country to other festivals to meet the members in person.
If Whisky interests you, then I highly recommend club and community.

Continue to have an excellent experience. Every two months another full bottle of whisky. How Dan manages to source the quality he does at the excellent price point, I do not know. Definitely recommend anyone with an interest in whisky signs up. Even if your new to the spirit it will widen your horizons far more than a trip to your local supermarket.

Liquid Gold.

Where to start?
Honest.
Open.
Great value.
Community.

Dan runs this club with such an open and honest approach, that you feel like part of a family in this group. There is no snobbery about a whisky you like that others dont. If you're looking for something, someone in the group will help.

The value you get on the whisky provided is phenomenal. Let alone how you are pushed to try something you may never have thought to before and you get some utter liquid gold in those bottles, they are just amazing.

Dan puts his everything into getting you not just a whisky at value, that is always secondary to a drink that you are going to enjoy so much.

Always a winning experience.

The Summerton Whisky Club is a club run by a whisky fan for whisky fans.

Each delivery (every other month) is a closely guarded secret which never ceases to disappoint.

Some deliveries may have a unique bottle you can't get elsewhere and others will be bottles well below RRP.

No matter what the liquid is always a winner.
