Disappointing

Placed what is only my second order, to be told after paying and receiving a confirmatory email, that due to a 'stock error' my order can't be fulfilled. Disappointing and on this basis, not sure i'll be ordering from them again.

Hello Shaun,

Thank you for taking the time to leave us this review. I am so sorry to hear that you are disappointed with your order.

I do completely understand how frustrating and disappointing this must have been for you. I absolutely do not wish to lose you as a customer and so I have reached out to you via email to provide you with more information as to what has happened with this order.

It appears that there were two orders placed for this bottle at the same time. As our system works on a first come first serve basis, your order was identified by our automatic processor as not having any stock available. As soon as this was identified, we reached out to you to advise you of this and offered an alternative product or a refund of your order. Once you confirmed that you would like a full refund, this was actioned for you.

I really do appreciate your feedback, and I will certainly look into a resolution to avoid this happening again in the future. I would really hate for this experience to put you off ordering with us again. As mentioned, I have reached out to you via email. Should you have any further questions, please do let me know.

Kind regards,

Sophie

Quite sure their reviews are being bought off. Which is a thing with 'trust'pilot. There is little to none transparancy on their 'competitions'. I can't find the winner. It's not on IG like they say on the website. The hour of them announcing the winner changed last minute. I feel ripped off. My advice, don't waste your money like I did.

Hello there,

Thank you for taking the time to leave us this Trustpilot review. Although I am sorry to hear that you are not happy with our competitions.

I'm keen to have this resolved and confirm the process when it comes to our competitions. To confirm, we live stream each draw at 4pm BST every Tuesday. These streams are then recorded and can be viewed again on our YouTube channel - https://www.youtube.com/masterofmalt/streams

Once the winners have been announced on the live stream, they are then recorded on our website. The link to the page for all winners can be found here: https://www.masterofmalt.com/competitions/#winners

There is also an option to view our older winners, and they can be found here: https://www.masterofmalt.com/competitions/previous-winners/

I do hope this explains the process further; however, if you have any questions at all, please do get in touch with me at hello@masterofmalt.com and I will gladly help.

Kind regards,
Abbie - Service Assistant Manager

I signed up on master of malt to get a bottler os Springbank 15,18 or 21.

I called in after the opening times of the prime subscription and was told the system takes a few minutes to come online. When I went back to the site all the bottles were gone.
This is a total nonsense, the companies do this in order to get you to pay ans sign up and the people have bots installed to buy up all the the mains bottles ina split second.

Hi Warren, we're really sorry you missed out on getting a bottle of Springbank in this recent launch!

While we do give early exclusive access to our Master of Malt Prime Customers, securing one of these sought after bottles can still be a competitive experience...

Unfortunately the demand for Springbank products far exceeds supply. We pride ourselves on offering these bottles to our customer at the true uninflated prices, which does mean there is a lot of interest.

This year, alongside Prime member exclusivity, we have also deployed bot protection - this is in an effort to ensure the stock lands in the hands of real whisky fans.

That being said, many bottles in this release did still sell out within a minute or two...

We will endeavour to do our best for whisky fans around the world and work on solutions to get the most sought after bottles to the people who want them most!

Excellent Customer Service

Used this company couple of times now and they have been efficient and excellent every time. The last time I used them, I made an error on the delivery address and the company were so helpful getting my situation sorted. While it was completely my fault, they helped make sure that my friends gift was re-sent out swiftly. Thank you Rosie and Sophie

My husband recently made a purchase with Masters of Malt for a very expensive bottle of whisky. Unfortunately when it arrived we didn’t notice that it was damaged as it was inside a very stylish wooden display. Only a couple of days later was it noticed by myself and I got in touch with their customer services. Everyone that I have been in contact with has been really helpful and even though the item had sold out, they went above and beyond to make sure I received a replacement. It wasn’t their fault the original one had arrived damaged and was just an unlucky experience. The new one has arrived and is in perfect condition and my husband, who had no idea what had happened, is delighted. Lovely people to deal with and we will definitely look to purchase from the company in the future. Highly recommend them!

Another Wonderful Experience

I have ordered from Masters of Malt several times and each time I have found the process to be smooth and very customer focused. This time was no exception. The website is well presented and easy to navigate. From 1st click to delivery is smooth and my order arrived within the given timescale. The order was well packaged with is always a plus when dealing with glass bottles. Another wonderful experience with a great company.

A big thank you and high recommendations

I would like to firstly thank, Sophie, Jemima And Isabel. The customer service has been excellent.

After an Order got "Lost" in the post, I sent a email to ask if it could be cased or refunded. Within hours a reply offering a new bottle change of delivery method and a time that suited me. No hassle, no problem. Unbelievable service.

After such good service I then asked about suggestions for my uncles birthday, and agin with a couple of hours Four suggestions with good reasons to buy either. No brainer placed the order and will more than happy do again. Highly recommended and keep up the good work.

Thanks again

Been using this company for a few years now for some drinks I never knew existed and they have never let me down. Used them to send drinks to friends for special occasions and they was happy with the company as well and they have started using them now. Definitely recommend this company and will be using again in future

The best UK online whisky retailer

I've ordered a couple of consignments via the website and each time it's been a very smooth process: great email updates, very fast tracked delivery (inside the UK), well-packaged bottles and a superb selection of whiskies to choose from, often at highly competitive prices. One of the top online retailers in the sector alongside The Whisky Exchange, would definitely buy from them again.

Excellent customer service

Excellent customer service, the team are very helpful and very friendly. Orders are very easy to place on line. Price match guarantee on all orders (which I have used on more than one occasion) Very happy with the delivery service, and kept up to date as to when delivery is due. First class service. More than happy to endorse Master of Malt

On The Money with Master of Malt

I’ve been buying whisky and occasionally Gin for a friend, for several years now, and never had any problems with any product.

Delivery was a problem once earlier in 2026, but Customer Services were very accommodating and helpful in resolving the issue and the products arrived two days later.

I especially like the flash sales for buying something I haven’t tried before or to asa gift for someone.

I find their reviews and tasting notes very accurate and helpful, and really appreciated.

MofM are a company that are doing very good things very well. They know how to please their customers and are never too pushy with sending offers.

Master of Malt - Mystery Box

I have ordered from Master of Malt many times and as always the experience, communication, delivery times and packaging were excellent!

This time I ordered two of the Mystery Boxes. While I understand and appreciate the nature of this arrangement is a gamble, I was very disappointed to receive two of the same bottles (especially ones I would never want to buy - but that’s part of the gamble!). It would have been nice that if you order multiple bottles then you don’t get the same ones.

Hi Matt, thanks for the positive feedback!

Because of the complete randomness of Mystery Drop, from production to shipping, there is a chance that 2 of the same bottle might be received.

To keep the launch true and fair, we have no idea of what bottles each customer received - it's all chance-based! If we were to interfere with this then the spirit of Mystery Drop wouldn't be quite the same...

We pride ourselves on the transparency of Mystery Drop - listing exactly what bottles are included, their producer RRP and their frequency on the product page at time of purchase.

If you'd like to talk about this further please do reach out to contactus@masterofmalt.com and we'd be more than happy to chat!
