FAQ

Whisky Marketplace is a whisky price comparison and discovery site. We help you compare prices, availability, and offers from trusted whisky retailers, so you can find the right bottle at the right price. You can use the site to browse Scotch whisky, Irish whiskey, Japanese whisky, American bourbon, world whisky, rare releases, independent bottlings, and more.

No. Whisky Marketplace does not sell alcohol directly and does not process orders, payments, deliveries, returns, or age verification. When you choose a bottle and click through to buy, you complete your purchase directly with the retailer. The retailer's own terms, delivery options, returns policy, and age verification process will apply.

We aim to list trusted specialist retailers with strong product ranges, reliable data, and a good fit for whisky buyers. Retailer coverage may vary by country, region, product type, and data availability. Not every retailer or bottle will appear on Whisky Marketplace, but our goal is to give users a useful, transparent view of the market.

Product pricing and availability are refreshed daily from retailer feeds and other sources. Retailers may update prices, stock, delivery charges, and promotions at any time, so the final price shown at checkout on the retailer's website is always the source of truth. Currency exchange rates are also updated daily. Where prices are displayed in a converted currency (for example, CAD to USD), the conversion uses the exchange rate available on that day. The final price you pay will depend on your bank or card provider's exchange rate. The rate we display is indicative only. Whisky Marketplace does not guarantee the final price you'll be charged.

Whisky prices and stock availability can change quickly, especially for limited releases, discounted bottles, and rare or collectable whiskies. A difference may happen because a retailer has changed the price, sold out of a bottle, ended a promotion, added delivery charges, or updated product details since our last refresh. Always check the final price and availability on the retailer's website before buying.

No. Some retailer links on Whisky Marketplace are affiliate links, which means we may earn a commission if you click through and make a qualifying purchase. This does not increase the price you pay. Affiliate commissions help fund the site, but they do not determine the cheapest price shown for a bottle.

On product comparison pages, retailer listings are intended to be ranked by price and availability, helping you find the most relevant buying options for that bottle. On category, brand, and discovery pages, we may also use signals such as price drops, offers, popularity, stock status, and regional availability to help surface useful results. Featured placements may be editorially curated by our team or promoted by retailers in some cases.

Yes. Whisky Marketplace can help you discover rare, limited-edition, cask-strength, discontinued, and collectable bottles where retailer data is available. Rare whisky prices can move quickly, and availability may be limited, so always check the retailer's final listing before purchasing.

Yes. You can use Whisky Marketplace to compare bottles for birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, Father's Day, Christmas, corporate gifts or other special occasions.

Prices shown on Whisky Marketplace reflect the bottle price provided by the retailer and may not include delivery charges, import duty, local taxes, or other fees unless clearly stated. Always check the retailer's checkout page for the final total before placing an order.

No. Whisky Marketplace is intended for adults of legal drinking age. In Canada, you must be at least 19 years old to buy alcohol in most provinces (18 in Alberta, Manitoba, and Quebec). Retailers are responsible for carrying out any age verification required by law.
