Peat is the fuel used to dry the barley, and it leaves behind that smoky, sometimes medicinal or maritime character — most associated with Islay. Unpeated whiskies let the malt, the cask and the distillery's own style come through instead, typically honey, dried fruit, vanilla and spice.

Upright, somewhere cool and dark, with the cap on firmly. Unlike wine, whisky won't continue to develop in the bottle — but once a bottle is more than half empty it will slowly oxidise, so if you're keeping one a long while, decanting into a smaller bottle helps.

UK delivery is free on orders over £125. For smaller orders, standard delivery is £3.99 for a single bottle (2–4 business days). Faster 1–3 business day delivery is priced by order size:

• 1 bottle — £3.99
• 2–3 bottles — £6.99
• 4–6 bottles — £7.99
• 7–12 bottles — £8.99
• 13+ bottles — £15.99

We offer a 365-day return policy — a full year to return unopened bottles, which is far longer than most independent merchants. To be eligible, items must be unopened, unused and in their original packaging. Return postage is arranged by you (we recommend a tracked service), and once we've received and inspected the return we'll refund your original payment method within five business days. Sale items and gift cards can't be returned.

Every order is packed in specialist wine packaging built for safe transit, so breakages are rare — and fully covered when they do happen. If anything arrives damaged, take a few photos and send them to hello@vinoshop.co.uk. We'll send you a return label and get a fresh replacement on its way as soon as the return reaches us. No fuss.
