Excellent customer service and packaging
I just made my first purchase with therarewhiskeyshop.com and am very pleased. I ordered a bottle of green chartreuse and crossed my fingers as I was unable to find it anywhere local and was wary of buying it online. After I sent in my order I then reached out with a question and received a very quick response which was a good sign. The package arrived quickly and expertly packaged. I am so grateful, Christmas saved!
