Bought a Hibiki 17 Phoenix through…
[Final Update: Whiskey Auctioneer went above and beyond to resolve the problem for their end. Very happy with customer service]
[Update: Whisky Auctioneer has since worked with me to reach a resolution. While we were unable to reach 100% agreement, they have agreed to take steps to address the situation. I am satisfied with the path forward given both parties made compromises. I appreciate them engaging further after escalation. The team I spoke with were polite and professional. We have a path forward but still needs to be executed. I will be more than happy to update this review again once the process is fully completed.]
Bought a Hibiki 17 Phoenix through Whisky Auctioneer and was very disappointed.
The bottle arrived with a noticeably low fill level that was not clearly represented in the listing photos. While they claim it was “visible,” in reality the angle of the images made it very difficult to accurately assess — I only realized how low it was once I had the bottle in hand.
I raised this with them, but they refused any resolution and relied on “sold as seen.” What’s frustrating is that even their own team initially said the fill level appeared consistent with other bottles, which shows how unclear the photos actually were.
At this price point, I would expect something as important as fill level to be clearly shown.
They claim to assess fill level of bottles in their policy but after beeing handed around to 6 different members of their team in email correspondance with different answers every single time, it became clear theri team had no idea. Would strongly advise against purchasing any bottles of significant value from them. They do not back their own quality metrics and the responses I received from customer service validates that. Use another auction house

Hi Derrin,
Thank you for sharing your updated experience. We are glad to hear that you are happy with our investigation process and will do everything we can to resolve this as quickly and efficiently as possible.
Thanks,

I had to involve a lawyer in order to solve my problems with Whisky Auctioneer. Whisky collectors: be careful !!
WARNING! BEWARE !
Il mese scorso ho dovuto ricorrere all’avvocato. Interi ordini NON CONSEGNATI dopo aver pagato spese di spedizione e di assicurazione per centinaia di sterline. Altre singole bottiglie trattenute indebitamente in “storage” senza avere la minima spiegazione alle mie e-mail e quelle scritte dall’avvocato: nessun documento formale, nessun elenco delle bottiglie in “storage”, nessun documento di spedizione.
Ho subíto un attacco digitale con centinaia e centinaia di messaggi di pagamento (SENZA alcun MOTIVO).
Su suggerimento di associazione consumatori ho richiesto spiegazioni, ma non riesco ad avere rassicurazioni sulla gestione dei miei dati personali.
I suggest everybody to be extremely careful !!!!!!!!

Hi there,
Thank you for your review. We’re really sorry to hear about your experience and would like to resolve this as quickly as possible. We’ve attempted to contact you by phone and email over the past few days. Could you please let us know a convenient time to speak? Our dedicated Client Services team is available Monday to Saturday and can assist you in Italian.
Thanks, Megan
Great experience. And now I have some wonderful whiskey bottles!
From the initial registration until I received my whiskey bottles, it was easy and without surprise. The registration process was handled electronically and by a courtesy phone call. The bidding was easy enough to understand. The final pricing was clear, even with the tarriffs added on (I am based out of the US). When my bottles arrived a week or so after the auction, they were exactly as advertised. Very pleased overall.

Quick, convenient and kind.
I can find bottles I want to get easily.
I've been using several whisky auction sites but Auctioneer is the best so far.
I get mine 2 days safely after payment from overseas.

A pitty. Too much costs.
A pitty. A fee bottels for less than £100, Total cost at the end more £ 160. More than 60 % costs.
5 novembre 2025
Réponse de Whisky Auctioneer
Thank you for your review, Henny. For a bottle of around £100, the total cost for buyer commission and standard shipping alone would not usually reach £160, so please do get in touch if you believe something has been calculated incorrectly and we can look into it for you. If the bottle was a UK lot being shipped to the EU, or an EU lot being shipped outside of the EU, additional delivery costs would apply, and these are noted in several places across our website. Customs charges may also be added by the courier, and these are not set or determinable by us, which is why we advise customers to check any applicable charges before bidding. If you’d like us to review a specific order, our Client Service Team will be happy to help.

Delivery is fast
Delivery is fast, the website is easy to navigate and you get a fair chance of winning a few bottles at a reasonable price. Just remember to check the add ons, it could mean buying a bottle for more than it’s worth.

Thank you for your review, Fin. We do appreciate all feedback. Information about fees is noted in various places on our site, including whilst auctions are live, when hovering over individual lots to view the lot location, and on our fees and shipping pages. We aim to be as transparent as possible and advise customers to check all relevant costs, including any customs charges which are not set by us, before placing a bid. If you’d like us to review a specific order or clarify anything further, our Client Service Team will be happy to help.

Handling fee for Europe lots
Handling fee for Europe lots
Lots that are marked as European lots give you the impression that only an auction fee is added to the hammer price. It is a kind of disappointing that you have to pay an extra handling fee which comes unexpectedly high.
Furthermore, you offer an optional loss and damage insurance. However, all packages with a value below 500 ,- Euro are already insured by carriers like DHL.
Two facts that give me the impression that you want to make unnecessary extra money. This is not customer friendly and this is why I look at Whiskyauctioneer.com only as a second choice.
4 novembre 2025
Réponse de Whisky Auctioneer
Thank you for your review. We appreciate you sharing your thoughts. Our fees consist of buyer commission and the relevant shipping charges for the destination, and these are detailed in several places across our site so bidders can review the full cost before taking part in an auction. When purchasing European lots for delivery to the UK, additional customs charges may apply. These are collected by the courier and are not set by us.
Our optional loss and damage cover is offered because carrier liability varies depending on destination, route and service level, and may not reflect the value or nature of the bottles shipped. It remains entirely the customer’s choice.
If you’d like us to look into a recent order or clarify anything further, our Client Service Team will be happy to help.

Closing Bid
I can not understand, why is a Bid only closed first, when all the Bids are closed. They supposed to be separate: if ther is no bid (after closing) in 2-5 minutes on THAT Lot, it should be ended, independent from the others…
4 novembre 2025
Réponse de Whisky Auctioneer
Thank you for your review. Our monthly auctions are designed to run as a single event, which means all lots open and close together. This allows bidders who are active near the end of the auction to move between lots if they wish, and many online auction platforms operate in a similar way. We appreciate all customer feedback on how our auctions function, and if there’s something specific you’d like to discuss, please feel free to reach out to our Client Service Team.

My experience navigating the auction and website was good, but unfortunately the bottle was not packed in a way that held the cork in place and a good 2 ounces of my precious 1969 Oban leaked out the top before arriving at my door.

Thank you for your review, David. I’m glad to hear you found the auction and website easy to use, though I’m sorry the bottle didn’t arrive in the condition you expected. I’ve checked your account and can’t see this reported to us, so please do get in touch so our Client Service Team can look into it for you. We take care with all packaging and would like the chance to review what happened here.
