No Problems at All!

We recently went to Scotland and my wife got to try out this scotch there. I don't drink alcohol, but she said it's great. Mild, tasty, mellow, she loves it. It arrived after a few days. The bottle was wrapped very effectively (was not broken). So, no complaints. Everything was perfect. We will definitely buy from this company again!
