Whisky samples
Great service. Great selection. Brilliant prices to sample whiskies you may not be able to afford a full bottle of or enjoy enough to splash out on a full bottle.

Second delivery received with an extra, very pleased now as I have lots of different malts and burbons to try out.
Never thought in a million years I'd be able to afford a bottle of The Macallan and here I have 2, 1 to try and 1 for a souvenir so I can tell people I have a Macallan in my collection, a small one but it's the Real stuff and that's what counts. Thank you Sample Guys.

Very efficient and professional approach. I ordered two sets of the same collection of samples and, without request, they came in two boxes, ready for sharing, which was very thoughtful and helpful.

Reply from The Sample Guys
Hi Graeme,
We’re genuinely sorry this wasn’t what you were expecting.
We are The Sample Guys, and we specialise in 30ml whisky drams, not full size bottles.
We show pictures of the original bottle to show customers what whisky they are buying however, every product page on our website clearly states 30ml multiple times.
On each product page alone it’s mentioned 8 separate times, including the product badge, title, description and “What You Receive” section.
The same information is shown again at checkout. We do everything we possibly can to make sure customers know exactly what they’re buying.
We’d never advertise a full-size bottle for sale and send a sample instead, that simply isn’t how we operate.
We do also have a return policy where any order can be returned for any reason within 14 days.
We wish you all the best and hope you enjoy the drams you received.

Excellent token for special anniversary
Beautifully presented sweet little bottles. Could not afford to buy a whole bottle of 40 year old whiskey for a special anniversary so these made a lovely token . Delivered within 5 days .

Delivery was very prompt, I love that you sell whiskey in drams which make it great for trying before buying a bottle, contact was excellent and the chocolate in the box was a bonus!

High quality, good support, well priced
The event was good value for money. It was very well organised, and questions sent to customer support were answered rapidly. The event itself was good fun, with a balanced mixture of serious whisky discussion and good humoured chat.
