Hackstons Avis 404

Comprehensive query and confirmation as well as description of the service. Very well and trusty.

Every detail explained and in a language I could understand.

I had been dealing with Ricki and the team at Hackstons for some time. They were very communicative about the casks they had available but often the time or price wasn’t right. Ricki persisted and kept communications open and he eventually found a cask that fit my portfolio perfectly.

I also attended whisky tasting at their beautiful Knightsbridge store, hosted by the knowledgeable and friendly Sam and, of course, Ricki.

Top marks all around. I highly recommend this team - in fact I referred friends to them even prior to becoming a customer myself.

Friendly, helpful staff made the process of buying casks of whiskey go smoothly.

Transaction was seamless.Good follow up

My colleagues and I visited the Hackstons store in Knightsbridge on the 7th of November. From the moment we walked in, Samuel and Vida greeted us with warm smiles and expertly guided us through the store's impressive whisky selection, making the entire experience seamless and enjoyable start to finish.

To give you an idea of the layout, the store is thoughtfully divided into three distinct zones:

The Walk-In Area: This section showcases an extensive selection of whiskies and spirits, which was perfect for our initial exploration, with options suited to a variety of occasions.

The Premium Range Section: As you move further into the store, the selection becomes increasingly refined. Reflecting on our experience, it’s hard to imagine you wouldn’t find exactly what you’re looking for here, whether you’re a collector, a passionate whisky connoisseur, or a more casual enthusiast.

The Whisky Tasting Library: Our visit culminated in this exclusive space, where invited clients can delve into the whisky distillation process firsthand. Samuel and Vida did a fantastic job at walking us through the aroma profiles and histories of the whiskies we tasted, making the session an unforgettable learning experience.

The store’s design is truly remarkable, incorporating elements that pay homage to the origins of many fine whiskies. Each bottle is beautifully presented, with uplighting casting a warm, mesmerizing amber glow that highlights the selection.

The ambiance strikes a perfect balance between elegance and approachability, creating an atmosphere that feels both sophisticated and welcoming. It’s something that really must be experienced in person, as words simply don’t do it justice.

Samuel and Vida made the experience exceptional. They took the time to understand our preferences and past experiences, offering recommendations that perfectly matched our tastes and curiosities. Their combined expertise was remarkable; they weren’t just describing bottles and flavors, but sharing the craftsmanship and stories behind them, making every recommendation feel meaningful.

Personally, the bourbon tasting was the highlight for me. Every sample was outstanding, making it nearly impossible to pick a favorite. Even as we headed off to lunch afterward, we couldn’t stop talking about the experience. I can’t recommend it highly enough.

Whether you’re a seasoned whisky enthusiast or just starting your journey, the Hackstons store in Knightsbridge is the perfect place to explore and learn. Their top-tier expertise and personal touch make for a brilliant, unique experience. As for us, we’ll definitely be back!

If you’re in London and appreciate fine whisky, Hackstons in Knightsbridge is a must-visit. It strikes the perfect balance between the exceptional quality of their offerings and the warm, human touch of their service.

Cheers to the team and looking forward to seeing you again!

I initially met Yinka my account manager at their H/O and I was impressed by their set up. However, I visited their retail store in Knightsbridge and was completely blown away. Seeing the rare bottles and the eye popping price tags really helped me to understand the potential of this asset. It was a real treat having a personal tasting and I felt really looked after by all the staff in the store. I am very happy with my decision to diversify into whisky.

Over the past year I have had the pleasure of working with Hackstons on a few whisky cask investments, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. Samuel Richards, in particular, provided exceptional guidance. His deep expertise and passion for whisky investment were clear from the outset, making the entire process both informative and enjoyable. Samuel took the time to understand my investment goals and helped me select unique casks that align with my goals. The wider team at Hackstons was transparent, professional, and attentive to detail, ensuring I felt confident and informed every step of the way. For anyone interested in whisky cask investment, I highly recommend Hackstons and the expert services of Samuel Richards.

I have been a client of Samuel Richards at Hackstons since Feb 2024 . He has been full of great advice and support for me during this time. He has kept me informed with new opportunities and keeps in touch regularly, giving me the feeling I am well looked after. Hackstons recently took a group of clients on a most enjoyable day to a new warehouse facility. We got to see our own casks, put the barcode labels on and even sign them . We got a tour of the site which was most impressive, with the staff all being very welcoming and knowledgeable. This was followed by a delicious lunch in the Balmoral hotel in Edinburgh city centre . Finally we were treated to a wonderful whisky tasting experience , then presented with beautiful personalised gifts. The Hackstons guys were great throughout the day and it was organised to perfection. I can’t thank them enough 🥰

I’ve always had a great relationship with Hackstons from the very beginning - I’ve now bought my 3rd cask for my kids.

After much research, I have been happy to invest a sizeable percentage of my portfolio whilst working with Sean C at Hackstons over the past 18 months. I have premium casks with Hackstons help and I look forward to a prosperous relationship. I recommend working with this company as they help you invest into the best Scotch whisky company's, rather than cheap hopeful casks like some brokerages. Buy cheap and buy twice as they say. I do not want to be in that position wishing I had invested more into something better. This is why I chose to work with Hackstons.
