“Delayed, but ok!”

Megan R.
4/11/24

Each year I put together a "Scotch Membership " of my own for my husband on our anniversary. In other words, I buy 4 bottles of scotch for him to try and reveal one to him every 3 months. This year was year 19, and cask cartel made it possible for me to find all I needed in one place! It was fun to see them ship from around the world. The most special one was delayed, but with the tracking service provided, I was able to check on my package and it arrived safely with no issues. You get what you pay for here, great service and spirits!

“Horrible Company”

Adam A.
3/23/24

Pretty good products, but for the expense you'd assume great service and deliveries. However, deliveries take forever, they are really difficult to contact and do not often reply to customer service emails, are inflexible with simple gift messages to be incorporated into packages, and the message option on their site is dysfunctional. And this all applies even when your orders are $500-$1000. Most ridiculous is that for orders of multiple products you are intending to be sent as a single gift, they wont even ship them together so the gift can't be received at all once. This has happened multiple times, and you'd think I'd learn my lesson to not shop with them... But my grace does have a limit, especially with multiple $500-$1000 orders, so I WILL NEVER SHOP HERE AGAIN! And I will be describing my experience with this horrible company all over review- and social-media platforms. I strongly recommend you shop at whiskybase or other competitors instead.

Had I known my order was being sent from Los Angeles - 2,400 miles away - I never would have ordered it since it arrived after Christmas.

My experience was easy. Web site is easy to navigate. The list of options is endless. The shipping cost seems to be a bit extreme -BUT the packaging is pretty much bullet proof. The tracking is great and delivery has been early both times and i am currently waiting for another order. I look forward to buying more from Cask Cartel

The delivery and tracking was fine. One of the sample bottles leaked a little, which is why I didnt give 5 stars. That probably isnt fair to Cask Cartel since they didnt fillnthe bottles, or send them out as sealed. The leakage on such a small item wasnt worth filling a complaint. It was just a sticky annoyance since the other bottles got wet. I would still order again even if the shipping prices were a little salty.

I bought this thinking the bottle would look the way it does online but it looks different…print is in yellow and there's a big cross on it and the Brother Justus is in much smaller print. So…the reason this matters is because I bought it as a 25th Anniversary gift for my husband which is a silver anniversary…loved that it was silver whiskey and that the JUSTUS was the print that stood out the most on the blue label…get it? So, that's a bit of a disappointment…not even sure if he'll like the whiskey but we'll see.

Reason I chose this business:

Because my google search led me to Cask Cartel and I liked the label and face that it was silver whiskey.

Reason I chose this product:

For the reason I explained within my other answers.

The site is easy to navigate and purchasing was not difficult. However, I would have liked a better explanation and more communication about how long the product takes to arrive. Site says it's in stock, but it wasn't abundantly clear that the order takes 2.5-3 weeks for arrival due to customs. In stock did not mean in stock at US facilities and I got no update after the order was placed until I reached out nearly two weeks later.

I totally understand a lot of these bottles are hard to find, but some of these prices are pretty high compared to retail. I guess it is how bad you want it.

Was happy that the product I was looking for was available and how quickly the shipment arrived; however the bottle was cracked and had leaked. The box was obviously too small for the bottle and packing. Also happy that I received a quick response to my email to customer service about the cracked bottle. I did not realize that there was an additional fee for "package protection" which for a company that mostly ships bottles, I was surprised they need to have this. I will not be spending the additional $50 to have the bottle replaced.

As previously mentioned

Reason I chose this business:

They were the only company in the US that I could find that had Madagascar rhum.

Reason I chose this product:

Wasn't able to bring back a full bottle of rhum from Madagascar.
