Holding true to their promises...first Connoisseur box was a treat! Four bottles, worth over $600 retail. Excited like a kid waiting to open that one birthday gift you've been just wanting to get your hands on. One bottle of the four was not to my liking, Whiskey Library immediately credited me for the bottle. Fun to try new bourbons that I would not be finding locally.

In my last shipment I received a bottle…
In my last shipment I received a bottle of the "New Louisville Barrel House Straight Bourbon Whiskey. It was much too high in alcohol at 136 proof. I could only enjoy it I cut it with a large ice cube which obscures the flavors.
My expectations from the club are bourbons that are smooth and flavorful not big alcohol bombs.

The first box that I received it was okay. They were harsher than I wanted them to be. Cause I drink my whiskey straight. I had a friend over and she thought the same. Can't wait to get my second box which is do any day. Thank you.

Well the amount of cost of bottles is 230. Dollars. Which short. It also had four bottle cards in box but only got three ! Not what I signed up for. Looks like the bottle that was not shipped is dark Arts the Empyream 11 Straight Bourbon 7.5. So let me know how we are going to fix this before I cancel membership. I’ve enjoyed it but won’t after this!!!!

Disappointed
Disappointed, UPS delivery comes middle of the day when no one is home. No updates on delivery. Customer service responds w generic info. Paid close to a month ago and still no delivery even though it’s set up to pick up at local UPS store. This is not a customer friendly/efficient service. Would not recommend.

If I could give 6 stars I would
If I could give 6 stars I would. I have bought 3 mystery boxes and multiple single bottles and every single whiskey was wonderful! But whiskey aside, their customer service really shines!!! I made a simple mistake and had some mix ups and their customer service team really helped me out! Big time. On 2 separate occasions. I would highly recommend this company!!!

I think this was a legit business at one point but was recently sold
I should have done a little more research on this before giving them my credit card information. I placed an order on 6/23/2026. Their site says they ship within 48 hours. It is now 6/29/2026 and still, no tracking. I tried calling but no one answers. I have emailed, to which, they have responded and promised me that I would have priority. When I looked at my credit statement the address goes to a Washington DC apartment building and another phone number that has its voicemail box full.

To be honest I was a bit skeptical…
To be honest I was a bit skeptical about the whole idea and the mystery box. After ordering the connoisseur’s mystery box, I received continuous updates from packaging, shipping, and tracking to know exactly when to expect delivery. Opening the box was great, all whiskeys I have never seen before, also inside was an envelope that detailed each of the bottles inside the box with a QR code you could scan and obtain more information. Looking forward to the next box with new flavors and aromas.

Hi Andrew,
Thank you so much for the fantastic 5-star review! We love hearing that we were able to turn your initial skepticism into a great experience. It’s wonderful to know that the shipping updates, tracking, and overall delivery process helped give you confidence every step of the way.
We’re especially glad you enjoyed discovering new whiskies and found the tasting cards and QR codes helpful for learning more about each bottle. Creating that sense of exploration and discovery is a big part of what makes the Mystery Box experience special.
We truly appreciate your support and are excited to continue introducing you to new flavors and aromas in the boxes ahead!

1st Connoisseur Tier Success
Received my 1st (connoisseur tier) mystery box of craft bourbon's and I was very pleased. Shipping took only 6-7 days.
My taste is for higher proofs. It was nice to receive bottles I've never had nor might see on shelves. The Doc Holiday bottle was a nice extra. My favorite of "unknowns to me" was "15 Star Platinum". At only 98 proof, it still had enough bite to enhance the taste. NOTE to Whiskey Library: You can send me that one again! VERY good bottle that made it to the top shelf of my 102 different bourbons.
So far so good Whiskey Library!

Hi Darryl,
Thank you so much for the fantastic 5-star review! We’re thrilled to hear your first Connoisseur Tier Mystery Box was a success and that you enjoyed discovering bottles you hadn’t tried before. It’s especially great to hear that the 15 Stars Platinum made such an impression—even earning a spot on the top shelf among your 102 bourbons is high praise!
We’re also glad the higher-proof selections, quick shipping, and the Doc Holliday bonus bottle helped make the experience even more enjoyable. Feedback like yours is exactly what makes our whiskey-loving community so special.
We truly appreciate your support and look forward to sending more great discoveries your way. And who knows—maybe another bottle of 15 Stars Platinum will find its way back to you someday!
Cheers

A combination of great whiskey in every box
There's always a surprising bourbon that I've never heard of. You surely can't find them at your local liquor store. Small batch, single barrel or blended bourbon. In six months I have never received a subpar bottle. All unique, all excellent. Thanks Whiskey Library

The first time that I ordered the bourbon mystery box, I was very pleased. The order was processed quickly and I received my first box a few days later. The last 2-3 times though, it seems as if there is a delay in processing my orders. It seems to take several days just to process the order and several more to ship it to me. It now takes about a week and a half to process and ship my recent orders. Also, the first 3 boxes were pretty impressive. I enjoyed them very much. The last one, however, was not up to the previous standard. I'm a little disappointed in my most recent selection.
