Classy bottle with amazing taste
Arrived fast and with no issues. The rum is amazing and the bottle extremely classy and unique. The writing on the bottle has rubbed off a little but it did not make the drink any less attractive. Fantastic idea for a gift. I highly recommend this shop.

Dear Marta.
Thank you kindly for taking the time to leave your review, it means a lot to hear your feedback.
We are so pleased that you enjoyed your rum and that our service was speedy! Sometimes with our efficiency we run into a mishap such as the writing not being entirely dry before we wrap the bottles, we will keep an eye out for this in future to prevent it happening again. However, I am glad that you still thoroughly enjoyed your tipple!

Yasemin within the customer service team was really helpful and kept me well updated about the status of what i wanted to order and when the stock would be available. The products were exactly what I hoped for and the notes from the team were nice to receive.
