We take responsible service seriously. By using our website, you confirm you are of legal drinking age in your province.
How do you verify age at checkout?
We use third-party age verification software at checkout. The system checks your name, address, and date of birth against public records and credit databases. This happens instantly and securely. If you cannot be auto-verified, you will be asked to upload a photo of your government-issued photo ID (passport, driver’s licence, or provincial ID). Our compliance team manually reviews and approves within 2 hours.
No ID, no delivery. We do not sell to minors.
Do I need to show ID when my delivery arrives?
Yes. Adult signature required on all deliveries. The delivery driver will request to see valid government-issued photo ID proving you are of legal drinking age in your province. If you cannot provide ID or if you appear underage, the driver will not release the package. You can rearrange delivery or pick up from the courier’s local depot with valid ID.
Can someone else sign for my delivery?
Yes, but the person signing must be of legal drinking age in your province and must provide valid government-issued photo ID. You cannot leave a note authorising the driver to leave the package without a signature. We do not offer safe drop or leave-at-door options for alcohol deliveries.
How do I know my bottle is authentic?
Every bottle we sell comes with our authenticity guarantee. We inspect every bottle for:
Seal integrity – original distillery seals intact and unbroken
Label authenticity – correct fonts, colours, and details
Capsule condition – no signs of tampering or replacement
Provenance – sourced from reputable suppliers with verifiable histories
Additionally, all Scotch whisky bottles carry distillery codes and batch numbers. All vintage bottles are photographed before shipping. If you ever have concerns about a bottle’s authenticity, contact us immediately.
What is your authenticity guarantee?
If you receive a bottle that you believe is inauthentic – which has never happened – you receive:
A full refund of your purchase price
A replacement bottle of equal or greater value
Our sincere apologies
That is our promise to you. Buy premium whisky Canada with complete confidence.
How do you store your whisky before shipping?
We store all whisky upright (not on its side – alcohol can damage corks over time), away from direct sunlight, at stable room temperature (15-20°C). Vintage and rare bottles are stored in a dedicated climate-controlled area. We do not store whisky in freezers, refrigerators, or humid environments.
