When confirmation of order is received, this is to indicate that we have received your order. It does not indicate that a contract exists between us. We have included this term to protect us in the case that a mistake has been made in pricing, we have inadvertently under-priced goods, or we are no longer able to supply a particular product as it may not be any longer available to us. If there is a change in price, we will always contact you first to ensure that the price is acceptable.

Prices shown against each item listed are not inclusive of postage and packaging which will be added to the bill automatically on the website checkout page.

All prices published on this site constitute an invitation to entreat rather than an offer capable of acceptance by any purchaser.

However, Whisky Castle Ltd. reserves the right to alter or change prices at any time up until delivery of the product selected.

All prices published on this site are applicable only to goods purchased from this site and may not be the same as in our shop.

Orders from Outside the UK

All transactions are made in UK Pounds Sterling (GBP £). If you are ordering from outside the UK the actual exchange rate used for the transaction is determined by your credit card company who will convert the transaction to your own currency. We aim to keep all prices as accurate as possible and our exchange rate is updated daily. All our parcels are delivered through traceable delivery systems.

Delivery Schedule

For the United Kingdom single bottles that are under 2 kilos will be transported by normal postal services as traceable next day delivery. This does not mean that an order placed on a Friday will get to you on Saturday. We are in the Highlands of Scotland and even if parcels are posted on a Tuesday the Postal service promise of 24 hours does not apply and you will probably receive the goods on Thursday

For the United kingdom all packages more than 2 kilos will be sent with DHL or another carrier using land mail. Delivery will be between 2 and 5 days.

For most European deliveries over 2 kilos we will send either with DHL or Parcel Force land mail, allowing 5 to 7 days for delivery. For parcels under 2 kilos these will be sent through normal postage services.

For World wide deliveries we use both DHL and Parcel Force. Deliveries may take up to 2- 3 weeks.

WE DO NOT ACCEPT DELIVERIES TO COUNTRIES WHICH HAVE ALCOHOL EXEMPTIONS. THIS WILL INCLUDE THE USA, AND CANADA.

We will send you notification of dispatch but we will make no commitment to say exactly when a parcel may arrive. This is beyond our control. Whisky Castle Ltd will make every effort to you that the goods will arrive to you as soon as possible and in an undamaged state with regards to the content of bottles. ie. breakages of bottles. For this we will make refunds and or replacements on receipt of evidence that the bottles have been broken under transit.

Goods must be checked at the time of delivery and any damage notified to Whisky Castle Ltd.

Goods are dispatched by a third party courier and their terms and conditions apply

Goods are sent entirely at the customers own risk as we are unable to guarantee safe delivery.
