Refer a friend
We think drinking is more fun with friends so we've set up a great referral programme that allows you to invite your friends with a very special introductory offer. By following your referral link or by entering your referral code at signup, they'll be able to claim 50% off their first case. If your friend stays with us for a full price case we'll award you with a free case of whisky as our way of saying thank you. The best part is, you can claim this reward for every friend you refer who stays with us for a full price box!
- Free case voucher codes will be shown on your account for each successful referral. Your codes are rewarded after your friend's Whisky52 subscription recurs at full price (£35 for 1 whisky and magazine).
- Please note this offer is only available once per household and cannot be used to create multiple accounts.
- The referrer and the referee must have different billing AND shipping addresses.
- Free cases are not available for gifting subscriptions.
- You must have an active account to be rewarded free cases.
- If you cancel your subscription, you will lose any free cases accumulated.
- You confirm that you have permission from the person you are inviting to send them marketing information from us.
- We reserve the right to cancel rewards at anytime if we suspect misuse of the service.
Loyalty Points
You will be automatically awarded points for every subscription order you place, each whisky you rate or review and for referring your friends, subject to the standard terms of our Refer A Friend promotion. If you cancel your subscription, all points will be removed from your account. You can avoid this by simply pausing your account. All points are lost after six months of inactivity. Points are non refundable, have no cash value and are non transferrable. Subject to change, all rights reserved.
Gift Cards
Gift cards, purchased online or in store, can only be redeemed online at Beer52.com. Credit can be spent as part of a subscription to our Whisky Club, which requires you to use your credit card details to open an account. This is so that we comply with the Licensing Act 2003, which we must abide to by taking all reasonable steps to ensure we only provide alcohol to persons over the age of 18. Alternatively, if you would like to redeem your gift card for back issues of our magazines and/or snacks, rather than a beer, wine or whisky club subscription, please contact us through our Help Centre and we will process this for you manually.
You will not be billed unless you decide to continue as a member of Beer52's whisky club after your gift credit has been spent by not getting in touch to cancel. Gift card credit can be spent on a combination of Stramash magazines, snacks and beer of your choosing as part of a rolling subscription. If you would like to spend your gift card credit on different numbers of snacks and magazines as is offered during our primary signup flow, you can arrange this easily by contact us through our Help Centre, who will be happy to charge your gift card credit appropriately. Gift cards have no monetary value and cannot be exchanged for cash. Gift cards expire 12 months after issue, unless otherwise advertised or indicated on the card. UK only, 18+.
Delivery
We use a variety of couriers. Your whisky should arrive with you within 1-3 working days of your latest payment.
Covid delivery agreement
Due to social distancing rules, it is not possible for couriers to collect a signature when delivering your parcel. By signing up to our service, you agree to accept delivery confirmation from a courier without signature and agree that if your parcel is marked as delivered or our courier provides photographic evidence of such, this is adequate confirmation of delivery.

In the event your order has already been processed you may lose part or all of any delivery fee (where appropriate) to arrange return.
All text message orders are automatically dispatched and cannot be cancelled or returned unless exceptional circumstances apply. In such cases, you would be responsible for arranging this and the return shipping costs. Please contact our friendly support team to discuss your options through Help Centre.
Competitions and Offers
We reserve the right to withdraw, amend or vary any offer or competition (including scratch card games) at any time for whatever reason.

At Whisky52, we pride ourselves on working with our customers to solve any issues. If we've messed up, we'll make it right. Our support team are always on hand to listen to feedback, concerns or questions: just contact us through our Help Centre.
Returns
Owing to the nature of our subscription products, which are either perishable (such as snacks and time-limited themed items) or periodicals, we do not accept returns for change of mind, in accordance with Regulations 28(1)(b) and 28(1)(c) of the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013.
This does not affect your statutory rights. If any item is defective, damaged, or not as described, you are entitled to a refund, repair, or replacement in accordance with the Consumer Rights Act 2015.
Please contact our customer service team if you believe any product is faulty or does not meet your expectations, and we will address your concerns in line with our obligations under UK law.
Cancellation
Our whisky club subscription is billed every 28 days unless otherwise stated, for a total number of 13 boxes per year.
To avoid being charged for the next box, you must cancel before your next payment date. The cancellation deadline is 11:59pm on the day prior to your payment date. If you cancel after a payment has been taken we won't be able to stop that order but your subscription will still be cancelled going forward, and no further payments will be taken.
Please note that we require 24 hours to process your first order before you'll be able to cancel your subscription.
How do I cancel?
We hate goodbyes, but if for any reason you want to cancel, please contact our friendly support team. You can easily reach our team before the date of your next payment by calling 0131 563 2327. We're open Monday - Friday 9am - 5pm.

As you browse Whisky52, cookies will be placed on your computer to help us measure our content and web flow.
We collect personal information about you to enable us to process and deliver your order. When registering on our website, you consent to Whisky52 maintaining, recording, holding and using the personal data we collect about you. We handle your personal information in accordance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018. For full details of how we collect, use and protect your information, please see our Privacy Policy.
We automatically collect your contact details when you enter them into fields on our signup flow and our whisky advisors use this information to contact you to help you to complete the signup process or to offer you special rates to join our club.

Pricing
Our monthly whisky subscription club includes 1x35cl of whisky (£27.01), a copy of our magazine Stramash (£7.99). The price of £35 includes VAT of £5.83.
Monthly rolling subscription is billed every 4 weeks unless cancelled. Any additional orders made on our website or by phone are charged to your payment card when placing your order.
We may from time to time make reasonable changes to the price, contents, or structure of your subscription in order to reflect updates to our products, packaging, delivery costs or supplier pricing. If we make a change that affects your ongoing subscription, we will give you clear advance notice (normally at least 14 days) of the change. You will have the right to cancel, pause or switch your plan before the change takes effect, and if you do so no further payments will be taken for the amended subscription. Your continued subscription after the effective date of the change will constitute acceptance of the revised terms.
Redeeming Points on our Shop
You must be logged into your account to spend your points. Points can be redeemed on our shop by ticking the 'redeem points' box at our secure checkout. A standard delivery charge of £4.95 applies to any shop order with a cash spend of under £50.
100 points will initially have a value of £1. Discount will be applied as 50% of your basket total, i.e. points can be used for up to 50% of the total value of the order.
Please note: loyalty points cannot be used in the same instance as shop vouchers.
21 Day Money-Back Guarantee
All our whisky cases come with a 21 day money-back guarantee. You may open the case and try some of the whiskies, but any opened products will be deducted from your refund. If requested, a return of your case may be necessary and this will be your responsibility. Refunds will cover the goods but not posting and packaging. All refunds will be made within 30 days. Refunds will be made via cheque, bank transfer or crediting your card at the discretion of Whisky52.
Whisky Substitutions
Due to the nature of our business, some whiskies in our cases are subject to last minute substitutions. We have to print the magazine far in advance of sending out cases, so the whiskies displayed on the tasting notes pages may vary slightly to the whiskies in your case at this time. We assure you that we try our best to avoid this where possible and thank you for your understanding when this happens.
Payment authorisation
By starting a subscription, you confirm that you are aged 18 years or over and authorise us to take recurring payments from your nominated card account in accordance with these Terms and Conditions. You consent to your payment details being stored securely and a tokenised version of them used by us for future subscriptions or related purchases that you choose to initiate, across any of our clubs, unless you select an alternative payment method at the time.
You may manage your stored payment details at any time via your online account.
Your payment data will be handled securely and in accordance with all applicable data protection and payment security regulations. We do not store your full payment card details.
