Blackwell's Wines & Spirits Reviews

Brooke H.

This has been a Father's Day favorite for the past two years. No longer will I have to look for ties and shirts that are only kept out of sentimentality. Blackwell's was able to ship quickly to me, both during quarantine and in 2021. My father is well-traveled, has tried a wide variety of spirits from different countries, and therefore can be difficult to buy for. However, he was pretty blown away by this is top notch pastis. Blackwell's has an excellent selection, and excellent service.

After enjoying a craft cocktail at a lounge in San Antonio mixing rye whiskey, walnut liqueur, port and honey...(it was called an Indian Summer), my husband was determined to recreate this drink at our home. Sadly, we were not able to find walnut liqueur anyway near us. How excited I was to find Nocello Italian Walnut Liqueur on your site. It made the perfect Father's Day gift and my husband has been experimenting with it since receiving his gift. It made his day!

This was a gift for our Son for Father’s Day. He had been looking for 8 year Asbach Uralt for quite a long time. Asbach is his favorite, an acquired taste while he was stationed in Germany. Our next gift will definitely be the 15 year. The website was user friendly, product availability and selection were superb, overall the service was impeccable. My order arrived on time as promised!

This is an interesting one. Very sweet and spicy, nothing like I’ve ever had. Growing on me. If you want to try something different from a standard rye I’d recommend it

I absolutely LOVE this company, their customer service and especially their products! I live on CT , have placed several orders ...ALL of which were delivered securely packaged and promptly...NO issued whatsoever. I highly recommend Blackwell Wine and Spirits to everyone! Nadine Burns

Gary and the team are engaged. Have a question, they answer. Need to tweak an order (they’ll hate me for saying this) they’ll try. There are plenty of places around me selling the same stuff for the same price, but found some humanity and service with Blackwells and have gone back to them a number of times because of it.

I like this brand bourbon. I love Blackwell. Shipping has improved and I am getting my items on the east coast within a week of my purchase. I have referred family and friends to the website.

First time customer. The response was fast and the product is exceptional. I bought “The Catch” hoping to celebrate an NFC Championship but I’ll have to wait. Beautiful bottle and an amazing keepsake when the bottle is empty.

I received a bottle after my wife did a whiskey tour with her friends through Tennessee & Kentucky. It was so smooth as a sipping drink I had to find it again. I bought 2 bottles.

Dingle pot still is the only Irish whiskey I buy anymore. Others pale in comparison.

Great to have the V-J Champagne in time for our daughter's graduation from SJSU. Teaching a new generation what it means to appreciate the good stuff. Thank you

Romualdo A.

After reading an article posted on InsideHook, I knew I had to find this tantalizing new whisky from Mexico. For several days, I’ve checked local liquor and spirits shops around the Bay Area and even considered getting it shipped from different states. Lo and behold, my partner came across Blackwell’s on a Friday and a big shout out to Cat for accommodating a pickup on a Saturday. As I was about to pick up the bottle of Abasolo Whisky, I get a call from my partner and asked me to pick up 2 bottl...

The packaging was amazing. They were gifts and arrived right on time. The Buffalo Trace is hard to find in Texas. So thank you for having it in stock.

A unique Scotch with a Carmel taste to it. Very pleasant taste that is somewhat unique. Would recommend it to any Scotch lover!

This Old Pepper 11yr arrived quickly. It’s a great pour. Being opened for a week it’s even better! Wish I could find another one.

This is the Astral Gin distilled from clementines served with freshly squeezed clementine juice! This gin is a delightful flavor and quite refreshing!

I'm Swiss and live in Switzerland. Your website is very appealing, very well structured, easy to place an order. The shippment was fast. And my dear friend in San Francisco was more than pleased with the bottle of Jean Fillioux "Cigar Club" 1er cru du Cognac Grande Champagne. I will definitely order some more fine wines from from your store! Keep on going in these difficult times Best wishes Thomas Streit

Joseph J.

I'm not generally a rum drinker, and I had bought this for my best friend to have at the ready for any cocktails he might make with rum over the upcoming holiday season. The night I gave it to him we opened it to see what it was like, and Oh, Nellie! I could easily keep this one in my liquor cabinet right next to my best bourbons and scotches. I don't have any here at my place as I write this to refresh my memory, so I'll do the best I can. Caramel, cocoa, and hazelnut - both in the aroma and o...

This is my first sample of an Aberlour product, and it is a magnificent Speyside single malt scotch. The nose on it is complex and smooth. You can immediately tell that what you are going to taste will be of a refined nature. 18 years in the making would indicate smoothness and depth in the flavors that come through. It finishes "long and balanced" according to their website and I agree with that assessment whole-heartedly. There is no burn down the throat at all. This is very close to a perfec...

This was my first of 3 purchases through the Blackwell website. This is a hard to find bottle where I live and Blackwell's made this purchase easy and it was delivered quickly. I plan to make many more purchases in the future. Thank You!

It was nice to place my order and not have to worry about it. I tracked it from the time it was at the shippers office until it arrived at my door. I recommend the service to everyone.

James J.

Another great experience and product. Due to the price, I thought a short while before I made the purchase. I am so glad I bought it. The only draw back was that Blackwell's only allowed me to buy 1 bottle, so I have to drink it slow.

I have ordered twice from Blackwell’s online. The process was easy and they fulfilled my orders quickly. The first time my package arrived without incident. My second package never made it to me. FedEx sent me a notice that they had delivered it and that I had signed for it. Luckily, I had purchased Route protection. I contacted Route from the app and a representative (Lacy, who is awesome) emailed me and processed my refund quickly. If you are going to have your order shipped I strongly recomme...

I was very happy with the packaging and the product. Gin Mare is very hard to find locally. Very Tasteee. I am interested in another brand of Gin that I cannot find locally and was wondering if you could find for me?? It is called 6 Dogs Gin from South Africa. I am interested in the Blue Gin. I have a friend from Europe who recommended the brand. I would appreciate if you could try to procure the product. I tried but couldn't buy from website. I know several people interested in buying this p...

Great price , great service and speedy shipping. Packaged so well that I am sure it would survive a drop from a 2nd story window . I am impressed and will continue to be a Blackwell's customer.

Bottle arrived crack in half. Tequila soaked packaging. Contacted the company, didn't even offer to replace it or give a discount on next purchase. They just told me file a claim with Fedex. I will never buy from them again. I suggest that you don't either.

My favorite cognac in the entire world . It can be hard to find but Blackwell's is the only place that has it in stock pretty much all the time. Great prices too.

I was unsure about the website until I received my package. Packaging was excellent (bottle was encased in foam) and I purchased this bottle along with the GoT house Tully whiskey bottle. I wish they carried more from the GoT whiskey collection set. Willing to buy more from bottles from Blackwellswines.com now that I know that it's the real deal.

Bought these for Christmas gifts. Lots of Metallica fans and Whiskey drinkers inthe family. This was unavailable in Idaho, and sold out on other sites. Shipping box was solid and they came quicker than expected. Thanks!

I was so very happy to finally find "Fighting Cock', because I had purchased a bottle in 2001 & when I moved, something happened to my bottle & I have been trying to purchase this item once again, but nobody has it, but then I discovered your website & I struck gold & now I have replaced my bottle of "Fighting Cock" I am forever grateful & thankful to you guys.

Robin F.

I have a friend who desired to find a wine to her taste. She subscribed to get wine samples monthly. After two years, she still had not found a wine she loved. She prefers fizzy, sweet wines. When I read about your wine in CT magazine, describing a sweet, bubbly, fruity wine, with a strawberry finish, I guessed maybe this would be the one. My friend was delighted to receive the gift, and, after drinking it, called to say Robin, after all these years of looking for a wine to my taste, YOU NAILED...

I love Amarula. I bought several bottles for gifts. It never fails to please. Shipping cost for three bottles increased $20 from my first order about a month ago. I am not pleased. Will seek another vendor. I am not confident that I will find one, though. $24 bottles end up costing over $39 with shipping.

I’ve been a fan of Hendricks for years. When I saw your photo, I thought the bottle looked blue (it’s obviously dark green). So I thought I was ordering something special.

A favorite by far thanks to the glorious woody scent that lingers in the taste. So happy this is back in stock! A special thanks to Blackwell's for super service and a selection that can't be beat!!

Pleasantly sweet after-dinner liqueur. The cherries start the sip, with a light and lingering flower/herbal finish. I'm grateful for Blackwell's extensive offerings so am able to try something new with each shipment!

Blackwell's was wonderful to work with. They had unique items we were looking at competitive prices. Our order was processed well and packaged perfectly. It arrived on schedule and perfectly intact. We will be ordering again and highly recommend.

Best bourbon ever! And if that isn't enough to grab your interest these 2 guys use sustainable farming practices to minimize their carbon footprint! Too bad I have to order it from California......but its definitely worth it.

After having no luck finding this beloved spirit, we found Blackwell’s! Easy ordering, fair prices and efficient shipping all come to mind regarding every order we have made. We will always keep this establishment on our go to list.
