The professionalism and dedication he displayed throughout our interactions made me feel confident and at ease.Mark was incredibly knowledgeable and transparent in his dealings, ensuring that I was well-informed along each step of the process. His communication was prompt, clear, and concise, always striving to keep me in the loop.As someone who resides outside of the UK, I highly recommend Mark Littler's services to anyone considering using a whisky broker. His outstanding professionalism, friendly attitude, and genuine commitment to his clients make him stand out in the industry.I wholeheartedly give Mark Littler a five out of five-star rating and encourage other overseas customers to trust him with their whisky investments.

I worked with Mark for some time planning and gaining information on Whiskey barrels and how to get them to market.Mark definitely was responsive and knowledgeable in this area.His communication and response time was very reasonable.He was very professional and it shows with the results.His knowledge of industry was very good and he offered a few realistic options when evaluating the product value and status.Being a customer based in the USA, I was a bit hesitant with any new venture, but Mark put us at ease.His company Mark Littler LTD managed all TorFX transfers which was a great help.Overall I am very pleased.

I was nervous at working with someone overseas who I had never met, but his Google reviews (and the fact he was well known to the distillery) allowed me to entrust Mark with my business. Now it is all done, I find myself in the position to write a positive review and convince future sellers that Mark is the right person for the job.Mark was an absolute pleasure to do business with. He was knowledgeable, communicative and clearly had the right contacts to help make the transaction successful.On top of that, he is a genuine, friendly person and I really enjoyed doing business with him. I am just disappointed that the transaction is now over and I can't work with him again!Thanks Mark for all your help - wishing you, your family and the business every success.

I used Mark Littler to sell some bottles of Whisky and the service, start to finish, was excellent. I dealt mostly with Beth who was incredibly helpful, and quick to respond to any questions I had throughout the process. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Mark Littler or to use them again in future.

Selling a hogshead of whisky cask, I considered a broker to be a better bet than selling through auction (with all it's uncertainties). A good decision on my part. Excellent service from beginning to end. Mark kept in touch throughout the whole process, from the initial phone conversation about valuation (he was spot on by the way!), to talking me through the final selling stage. Completely seamless from my end. I wish I had another cask to sell! No hesitation to recommend Mark and his team.

Susan Wells

I contacted Mark Littler to enquire about selling several bottles I had, they provided concise and accurate information around demand and pricing. I was then able to make an informed decision and agreed to sell the bottle through them.

15:17 05 Mar 23

Hannah helped with the whole process - from initial consultation to the purchase. We never felt under any sales pressure and thought the advice was very professional and balanced. In an area where there are many less than scrupulous operators there was the confidence that we were dealing with a company who prided themselves on their customer service and the quality of the product they deliveredFrom our positive experience we would recommend Mark Littler LTD and look forward to interacting with them in the future.

Those of you who buy and sell rare whisky may have heard the name Mark Littler, I hadn't and was somewhat nervous in completing an arms length transaction with someone I'd never met.I was completely wrong. Mark invited me to his office (and what an impressive place) and we concluded a deal on the spot. His knowledge and expertise on the subject is astounding and I would have no hesitation in recommending his serveces to anyone.

I was looking to ship 4 paintings to England and have them sold there as LS Lowry is not well known where I live. Luckily I picked Mark Littler. I worked with Hannah and she was fabulous. They found buyers before I even shipped the prints. Hannah got a price for each one which was the same as another company offered me for ALL 4. Enough said.

Fantastic service! The sale of my 1965 18 year old Macallan was quick and smooth. Selling a high value product of this kind for the first time can be a bit daunting, but Beth and Hannah were extremely helpful and professional. They maintained clear communication throughout the process, answered all my questions promptly and were very reassuring. Thank you!

Duncan Lees

09:16 08 Jun 22

I was really impressed with the service from Mark Littler. They were very transparent about the different routes available for dealing with the two bottles of whisky I was looking to sell, and were helpful when discussing the pros and cons of each, without being pushy. (They definitely seemed to be able to offer more options than most of the other dealers I contacted.) Sending off rare bottles of whisky in the post is a scary thing, but the delivery system was efficient and very secure, and the way the contract was handled was very reassuring. I would definitely use them again if I had any bottles to seek in future.

Dawn Page

14:12 07 Jun 22

From first talking to Mark about selling my barrel to recieving my money he has made the whole process seamless with regular updates and any questions answered promptly he well deserves 5 stars and i will definitely be using his company again

Very happy with my experience of selling via Mark Littler. I was a little apprehensive about posting my £5k bottle from Scotland. It was all very straight forward, the packaging arrived with very clear instructions. The contract was also clearly marked for signature.

Gilly Wilson

14:10 27 Nov 21

As I am in Scotland I thought I would send my silver to auction as the easiest way to sell it. However I was wrong. I received a better price than the top estimate I received from my auction house, paid less commission, no hidden charges, payment received in much less time, didn't have to deal with a patronising valuer, didn't have to transport it to the auction just packed it up in packaging and label sent by Mark and took it to the post office. All together a professional hassle free service. Couldn't recommend more highly

Fergus Gillanders

11:34 18 Nov 21

I was unsure of the process of selling something on-line but I needn't have worried as Mark Littler made the whole thing effortless, quick and easy. They provided expert advice on the options available to me and at no time tried to convince me to take one particular offer. I would highly recommend Mark Littler to anyone wishing to sell or auction an item.

Mick T

11:07 02 Nov 21

Having bought a cask of whisky back in 2004 we decided that this year was the year to sell it. I approached three different brokers and it wasn't a hard decision to ask Mark to arrange the sale for us. It wasn't only that he said he could achieve the best price for the cask but his professional manor and clear level of knowledge.To sales process was relatively simple with excellent communication throughout. He assisted us with drawing several bottles prior to sale and the logistics of moving the cask.Overall a first class service and if you are wondering he achieved slightly more than the suggested sale price. This was over three times what the first broker offered and 50% more than the second.

Richard Chamberlain

As a complete novice in the world of valuable whisky, I was very pleased with how straightforwardly the private sale of my bottle was handled. I was kept informed at all stages and the whole process from my first enquiry to money in the bank took just three weeks. A pleasure doing business.

Ruth Roberts

12:04 25 Oct 21

Mark Littler has now sold several bottles for us personally and helped us sell many more through Whisky Auctioneer. It was so helpful to get advice and practical help with packaging all of our whisky bottles which seemed initially quite daunting. His advice and service has been excellent, and we have been absolutely delighted to deal with Mark and Hannah. I would highly recommend their services to anyone.

Ruari Truter

18:13 04 Oct 21

Mark was both patient and professional, initially advising and then successfully selling a whisky cask. He, and his staff, talked me through the process, highlighting both opportunities and pitfalls, with simplicity and the minimum of jargon. Mark is extremely knowledgeable on both the distillery side and the market, evident with the excellent price achieved.

Jane Landsborough
