Whisky good but not good service

I'm only giving 3 stars because the Whisky I've received from the Whisky Club is very good. The service isn't so good though. The whiskies never seem arrive on time and there has been a gradual time slip to the point that instead of receiving 2 bottles every 2 months I am gradually slipping a month behind. I have communicated this to the company but have not really received a satisfactory response. I am going to give them a few more months and if the service doesn't improve I will be cancelling my subscription.

Amazing club, best gift ever!

Craft Whiskey Club was a last minute inspiration of a Christmas present for my husband a couple years ago. He still tops it as one of his favorite presents ever. We have access to unique whiskey that we never would have before. All of them different, all of them delicious. Great club!

Second bottle

Subscribe to 2 bottles every 2 months. Second box arrived today and disappointed with the second bottle this time. I effectively paid £55 for a £45 bottle! Reading reviews it seems others are getting a glass but I haven’t received one in either box. Shame as the concept is good.

this is the 3rd box of isle of raasay that you have sent me in a row, i thought the idea was you sent me something different every time, or don't you really care check your records, or do you just pick a box at random? i'm curious, this is not my idea of what to expect from your company, what's happening?

Dear Valued Customer,

I see you have 2 active subscriptions currently so were due to receive at least 2 bottles of Raasay, however, the 3rd bottle was an error on our part, apologies about this, my colleague has contacted you by email so we can rectify this for you. I hope this is of help and if there is anything else we can do, please just email contact@craftwhiskyclub.com.

All the very best,

Nicholas

I got this subscription for my dad for Father's day/his birthday. He said he liked the whiskey sent, but it needed aged a few more years. Also, the Japanese tea popcorn was a little weird to be sent in a whiskey box, but it was his first box and probably sent at random.

Dear customer,

Thank you so much for the kind words. It is reviews like these that really spur us on. Being able to feature Torabhaig 2017 Legacy in the UK underpins everything we aim to achieve with the club.

We have more surprises planned for very soon, and look forward to bringing them your way.

The team really appreciate reading these reviews, we monitor them closely, and we jump with joy when they arrive.

Kind regards.

David

"Forgot" to send my order one month

"Forgot" to send my order one month. I had to chase them when I realised it didn't arrive. I have a feeling they've "forgotten" me this month too, but haven't looked into it yet. Basically you pay more than the bottle of whisky is worth for a bottle of whisky and a chocolate bar/bag of crisps/biscuits. You would think you might get some kind of preferential price through bulk discounts but it's more.

Dear customer,

Thank you very much for bringing this issue to our intention back in February. I am pleased that this situation was resolved at the time with our member services team.

Please be assured that you have not been overlooked this month, your April box will be with you this week. This is an extremely rare whisky, and we are absolutely stoked to be able to feature it to all of our UK members.

I really hope you enjoy the Torabhaig Legacy 2017, there's not many people who have this on their whisky shelf.

All the very best.

David
