Question 1

Do you ship abroad?

Accepted Answer

Currently, we only ship within Germany, Austria, and France. Please note for shipping to France: We are unable to deliver to the EU special territories of French Guiana, French Polynesia, Guadeloupe, Martinique, Mayotte, New Caledonia, Réunion, St. Pierre and Miquelon, St. Barthélemy and St. Martin.

We hope to expand our shipping to more countries in the future, but alcohol taxes and customs requirements make it extremely complex and expensive.

We are working on a solution, but we are not sure when we will be able to find a satisfactory solution.

As soon as there are any changes to our shipping conditions, you will find all the information at: https://whic.de/versand-lieferung

If you live near the border in one of our neighboring countries, you have the option to have your order sent to a nearby German Packstation.

Question 3

Why is my whisky cloudy?

Accepted Answer

Whisky contains various compounds such as fats, proteins and esters after fermentation, distillation and barrel aging. Some of these substances are referred to as 'congeners'. They can react to low temperatures by partially precipitating or clumping together. This can manifest as cloudiness in the whisky when it is consumed with ice or exposed to wintry temperatures. This resulting 'Scottish Mist' generally dissipates as the whisky warms up, but some suspended particles may remain.

It's worth noting that this cloudiness typically occurs in whiskies with an alcohol content below 46% vol. Whiskies with higher alcohol content, especially those at cask strength, generally don't require chill filtration.
