I manage a pub that has used Wright Wine Company for many years and I have visited 3 times in the last 2 months. The selection of Wines and Spirits is amazing. The staff are always welcoming and helpful. I appreciate the chance to try selection of Whiskies to select the best for our customers. Would highly recommend to other businesses and to people buying for personal consumption. Keep up the good work!

Absolutely fabulous whiskey shop. All manner of whiskey from around the World - and go in February and they clear out their tasting cupboard. You’ll try lots of whiskey but you’ll definitely come away with a bottle or three, and meet lots of lovely like minded people. It’s a whiskey festival in a shop. Their prices and selection are unparalleled.

This is simply the best place in the world for Scotch whisky lovers. Fabulous selection, competitively priced, helpful knowledgeable staff, generous with offers of tasting. I've been coming here a couple of times a year for decades and will continue to do so. They sell far more than Scotch too; I picked up a couple of nice bottles of extra virgin olive oil during my recent trips! A must-visit
