Questions

Is there whisky in the pack?

No. Whisky Wildcard is print only: the art print, the blueprint, the photographs and the story. Most issues include an offer from the featured distillery or a stockist if you want to buy the bottle.

When does it post?

In the first week of each month, by Royal Mail. Subscribe by the 20th to get that month's issue.

Can I cancel?

Yes. Monthly plans cancel any time from your account or by email; cancel before the 20th to stop the next pack. Prepaid plans simply run out and don't renew.

Do you post outside the UK?

Not at launch. Join the waiting list and tell us where you are; we'll add countries as demand shows up.

Can I buy past issues?

Yes, once a few are out, while stocks last.

Are you sponsored by the distilleries?

Some months may be supported by the featured distillery. We'll always say so on the story card, and the tasting notes are ours.
