Caskers (caskers.com) has a 2.9 out of 5 rating on OK.one, based on 100 user reviews collected here. It is listed under Food, Beverages & Tobacco and its reputation is poor. Opinions are polarized: 46% rate it 4 stars or higher while 50% give 1 star; The business has replied to 100% of negative reviews; 38 of them were added in the last 12 months. Last updated 2026-08-10.
I ordered what I believed to be at least a half-sized bottle of a premium spirit from Caskers, only to receive a tiny 50 mL sample with probably two shots of alcohol in it. The product page was misleading, and the size was buried in small print, clearly designed to confuse consumers.
When I reached out to Caskers, I was met with ALL ROBOTIC RESPONSES (no human customer service and they won't talk to you - just send you to their robot email) and no attempt to resolve the issue. As the bottom was unsealed and in pristine condition I even offered to exchange for a credit but they wouldn't do it...
Be warned: Caskers may look like a premium retailer, but their business practices are anything but. I won’t be ordering from them again, and I’ll be warning others wherever I can.

Hi Brendan,
Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear you were disappointed with your experience.
Our records show that the product you ordered was correctly listed on our website, including the bottle volume and product description, which indicate that it is a miniature-sized bottle. The product image also accurately reflects this smaller format.
As stated in our policy, we are unable to accept returns or issue refunds for items based on a change of mind once the product has been opened.
We understand your concerns and regret that we could not meet your expectations in this instance.

Excellent fast service and delivery
Excellent fast service and delivery of good whiskies. I ordered a good bourbon (EHT) and my fav smokey scotch (Correyvreckan). Prices were approx same as elsewhere. Order was delivered 3 days later. I am very happy! The mixed reviews concerned me, but my experience is a 10/10 from ordering (clear/easy site) to communication (order confirmed; shipped; tracking number emailed; delivery confirmation) to actual delivery in NC. I will def use Caskers again.

Liquor Liars! (RESOLVED)
UPDATED: To be fair, refund finally received. That took almost 4 weeks since first time reaching out. Everything had to be done by email, which doesn’t make sense when there are so many other ways to communicate in this day and age. My original review stands. Will never order again.
ORIGINAL: It’s been weeks and we still don’t have our missing items. All we get are useless emails claiming they’re investigating “technical issues”—what a joke. I’ve been requesting a refund for the missing items and all they say they’re looking into it. It takes them more than 24 hours to even reply. This company is a complete scam. Do yourself a favor: Never order from Caskers. If I could give a rating below zero, I would.

Buyer Beware!
Buyer Beware!
My first order from this site and they sent me the wrong items. Their customer support sent me the label to return the items and as soon as the items were received back they canceled the order and only refunded $44 of the $94 I had spent. They claimed the $50 was the shipping and handling cost.

Hi Robert,
Thank you for sharing your experience. We're truly sorry for the confusion and frustration this experience has caused.
It looks like you may have received an automatic refund notification that didn’t reflect the full details. While $44 was refunded to your original payment method, the remaining $50 was promptly added back to your gift card when we processed the return. We're very sorry this wasn’t clearer upfront.
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to our support.
Caskers has a wide selection and great customer service!

went to the website to order multiple 1.75 liter Makers Mark. The site defaulted to 1 liters for the the same price. Noticed prior to shipment, and cancelled, but their company service refused to honor and shipped anyway. I will refuse delivery and will negotiate with the credit card company. deceptive practices and scams.

Hello Daniel,
We're very sorry to hear about your experience and understand how frustrating this must have been.
To clarify, the volume of each bottle is always listed directly under the product name, and for these particular items, the 1L volume is also included in the product title itself. Based on what was added to your cart and the corresponding price, the selected product was indeed the 1L bottle. That said, we're truly sorry if that wasn’t your intention.
We also regret that we weren’t able to cancel the order as it was already processed.
Your feedback is important, and we'll use it to ensure we’re making product details even clearer and our service more responsive.
If you have any further concerns, we're here to help.

Great Experience
I have ordered with Caskers twice now. Both experiences have been excellent. Products were shipped well and secured and in a timely fashion. Customer service has always been great and helpful.
I placed an order for George T Stagg then my order was canceled because they failed to list their product at the correct cost. My card was charged, I didn't receive an explanation nor did I receive a cancelation email. Instead they sent me an email stating I would be refunded in 5-10 days. First time customer and last time customer!

Hello Jarod,
We’re very sorry for the frustrating experience with your recent George T. Stagg order, and we completely understand your disappointment, especially as a first-time customer.
Due to a temporary and unexpected price drop from one of our partner retailers, demand for this highly sought-after bottle surged beyond what our system could manage in real time. As a result, some orders—including yours—were regrettably canceled after inventory ran out. A full refund was issued immediately, but we sincerely apologize if you did not successfully receive a cancellation email.
We know this experience didn’t meet your expectations—or ours—and we truly regret that your first interaction with us unfolded this way. If there’s anything we can do to help make it right or clarify further, please don’t hesitate to reach out to our support team.

Hello,
We're truly sorry for the experience you had with your recent order. We understand your frustration, and we deeply regret the disappointment this situation has caused.
In case our earlier outreach email didn’t reach you, we want to provide some clarity: due to an unexpected and temporary price drop from one of our partner retailers, there was a sudden surge in demand for this rare bottle. Unfortunately, the actual inventory was extremely limited, and our system was not able to update stock levels quickly enough to reflect real-time availability. As a result, we had to fulfill orders on a first-come, first-served basis—and regrettably, your order fell outside of the available inventory.
If you have any lingering concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out to our support team directly. We value your feedback.

Shady and Unreliable
On 5/28/25, I placed an order with Caskers for a bottle of George T. Stagg whiskey priced at $182.11. My credit card was charged, and I received an order confirmation. Within minutes, the listed price of the same product was hiked to over $800. Then, today, my order was unilaterally cancelled, and a refund was issued without explanation or acknowledgment of error.
What followed only reinforced the nature of the transaction: I received a marketing email urging me to complete my purchase of the same bottle, now listed at the inflated price, claiming it was “still in my cart.” In other words, this was not a system or stock issue despite what they will likely tell me or others who have encountered this same problem. It was a textbook example of bait and switch. Caskers accepted payment, confirmed the sale, and then rescinded the transaction once they realized the pricing no longer served their financial interests. Moreover, as a broker rather than a traditional retailer (they physically do not have stock), Caskers assumes responsibility to source the product once a sale is confirmed. Though, if a pricing discrepancy exists, the onus ought to be on the customer-facing entity to honor a standing deal and resolve the difference internally without breaching the customer’s trust or transaction.
So, Bottom line? Caskers—and their parent company, Flaviar—should not be trusted with your business. They exploit pricing errors to their advantage, disregard confirmed transactions, and rely on post-hoc refunds to avoid accountability. This is not a customer service issue. It’s a matter of integrity—and this dumpster fire of an organization lacks all of it.

Hello Ian,
We’re very sorry for the frustration and disappointment surrounding your recent George T. Stagg order. We completely understand how upsetting this situation was, especially given the nature of the product and how everything unfolded.

We fully acknowledge how this feels from your perspective and understand how the marketing email you received afterward may have compounded that frustration. That email was automated and clearly sent at the wrong time—we’re working on preventing this kind of miscommunication in the future.
While we do not take lightly the claim of a bait-and-switch tactic, we assure you this was a system error during an unusually high-demand window—not an intentional act. Nonetheless, we recognize that our response should have been more transparent and timely, and we’re committed to doing better.

I made a mistake in my order
I made a mistake in my order, ordering the wrong size on a multi-bottle order. I contacted Caskers as soon as I realized my mistake, and they jumped on it immediately. I was able to cancel the incorrect order and order the correct size bottles. It was easy and every contact was professional and courteous. Caskers is my go-to bourbon source!!

Don’t buy
Don’t buy. I purchased 1792 Sweet Wheat for $112 and they cancelled the order because it wasn’t in stock. But you look online, it’s in stock and they jacked the price up to $369.99.

Dear Mike,
We sincerely apologize for the disappointing experience you’ve had and truly appreciate you bringing this to our attention.
At Caskers, we work with a network of independent retail partners, and as such, product pricing and availability can vary depending on the retailer. While we do our best to ensure consistency and accuracy across listings, there are rare cases — like the one you’ve described — where a product may appear back in stock at a different price due to being listed by another vendor.
We understand how frustrating this must be and would love the opportunity to make things right. Please reach out to us directly at [email protected] with your order details, and we’ll be happy to review your case further and assist however we can!

Good Selection but horrible shipping/delivery
They have a great selection with OK prices, the packing is well done, but the delivery takes an extremely long time. In my area, a local delivery company is used (CSG) and they are not very good at all. Once, Caskers used UPS on part of my order and it arrived in less than a week, I could track the progress and be home when it was expected to be delivered. The other item in the order took more than a week after UPS to even ship. CSG has minimal and non-informative tracking with vague delivery times when they get around to deciding to deliver the package. This is poor service, Caskers, and if I can find what I want elsewhere, I will stop using Caskers due to the delivery frustration on each order.
Reply from Caskers2025-05-05
Hi,
Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear about your delivery experience and understand how frustrating delays and poor tracking can be.
Orders typically take 1–5 business days to process and up to 10 days in transit, and we rely on a network of vendors who each use their preferred carriers. That said, we know this isn’t ideal, and we’re actively working on improving logistics to ensure a smoother experience.
We’ve shared your comments internally and truly appreciate you bringing this to our attention. We hope to provide a better experience next time around and will do everything we can to help make that happen.
