At Waterford Store, we’re passionate about connecting whisky and spirits enthusiasts with exceptional bottles from around the world. Below you’ll find answers to our most common queries about our products, delivery, and services.

About Our Products

What types of spirits do you specialize in?

We curate an exceptional selection of premium spirits including:

  • Rare single malt Scotch whiskies (including Bowmore, Macallan, and Lagavulin)
  • Cask strength and limited edition expressions
  • Spirits from closed distilleries (like Port Ellen)
  • Premium gins and liqueurs
  • Collector’s items and award-winning bottles
How do you ensure the quality of older vintages like your 47-Year-Old Loch Lomond?

Each rare bottle undergoes meticulous inspection before shipping. We use specialized temperature-controlled packaging for aged spirits and cask-strength whiskies to preserve their integrity during transit.

Do you offer gift options or collections?

Yes! Our GIFTS and COLLECTION sections feature curated selections perfect for connoisseurs. Many customers enjoy our GlenDronach verticals or gin miniatures collections for exploration.
