Whisky Client Reviews

Over the years, clients in the UK and around the world have trusted Mark Littler to help them buy and sell rare whisky bottles and casks.

Mark Littler has received more than 450 Google reviews across its services. The reviews below relate specifically to our whisky brokerage work, including cask sales, cask purchases and the sale of rare bottles and collections.

Many concern the sale of privately owned whisky casks—the point at which valuation, market knowledge and execution are properly tested.

NOTE: We ask clients for reviews after we have helped them complete a sale—not when they first buy a cask. Buying is the beginning of the process; selling is where valuation, market knowledge and execution are tested.

The reviews below reflect completed whisky transactions and the outcomes experienced by our clients.

Hello All, My name is Charlie Rhoden and I recently took the decision to sell a very special barrel of whisky. I did a search of the internet for companies/people who dealt with the trading of barrels of whisky; around twelve in all. Not all of the twelve responded to my initial email, and some of those who did were sharks. "Oh, the whisky market is depressed right now, so I can only offer you......" I had a pretty good idea of what I was holding. For the greatest part, the responses saddened me, that was until I was contacted by Mark Littler. Mark came straight out and made me a monetary offer that was in the ball park. We struck up a conversation and within a couple of emails I signed a contract with Mark to represent me. He also knew what I had and believed that he could find a buyer very quickly and that's what happened. I need to bring in Katy Littler here as Katy, Mark's dear lady wife, as she kept me updated. I could go on here, but let me say in all honesty, my dealings with Mark and Katy reinforced my belief that there are still good honest people out there, who are not out to rape you, but to be good and fair. If anyone would like to contact be one on one, please feel free to direct any questions through Mark and Katy Littler and I would be delighted to support and reinforce my words here. In a nutshell, they are real good folks. Charlie Rhoden Kuala Lumpur 25th July 2026

We had a fantastic experience selling our cask of whisky with Mark Litter Ltd. Katy and Mark made the entire process smooth, straightforward, and genuinely pleasant from start to finish. After our initial call with Mark, where he clearly explained how everything would work, the process unfolded exactly as described—no surprises, just great communication and professionalism throughout. We felt well supported at every stage and truly appreciated how easy they made it. We would highly recommend them to anyone considering selling a cask.

Mark and Katy recently facilitated the sale of a Sherry Butt of 1995 Tobermory Malt Whisky for us. We visited their offices and were given a thorough explanation of the process involved. All went as forecast and we are very happy with the result. Their services thoroughly recommended.

Mark and Katy helped me sell a cask of whisky. The whole process was made easy and understandable. In the end the sale went ahead exactly the way Mark laid out on our first telephone conversation. I would very much recommend him to anyone in the same position I found myself.

Very happy with service I received. The packaging for conveying the precious cargo gave every confidence the bottles would travel safely. Updates on the current subdued market conditions guided me with respect to a realistic asking price.

I contacted Mark Littler regarding a bottle of whisky I'd inherited after my parents passed away. Not being a whisky drinker myself didn't prevent me knowing the brand name was a whisky of quality. I'd not a clue what it was worth, or where, or who I could trust to sell it for a fair price? In my internet search, I stumbled upon the Mark Littler website. Reading through the website and the associated customer reviews gave me the confidence to contact them. After a few initial enquiries I felt that this company were the people to find me a buyer for my bottle. I did wait a while due to market fluctuations, but I was in no rush to sell and finally my bottle sold at a respectable price that I was happy to accept. From initial communication through to the courier transportation and supplied special protective packaging and the subsequent photographing and storage of my bottle it was all carried out with extreme professionalism and care. I must say above all else I found the company to be very trustworthy and honest and their expertise shines through. I would definitely recommend Mark Littler as the best place to go when looking to buy or sell whisky. Rest assured you will be in good hands from first contact to advertising through to final sale.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Mark Littler to sell my collection of 14 high-end whisky bottles, which included my precious Karuizawa collection and a 40-year-old Port Ellen, and I couldn't be more pleased with the experience. From the initial consultation through to the final sale, Mark and his team demonstrated unparalleled professionalism and deep market knowledge. They provided expert advice on pricing and marketing strategies, ensuring that my collection reached the right buyers and secured the best possible price. It's clear that Mark Littler is exceptionally skilled in handling luxury collections, and I would highly recommend his services to anyone looking to sell high-value items with confidence and ease. Thank you, Mark, for making what could have been a daunting process, smooth and rewarding!

I had a bottle of 25 year Anniversary McAllan and was looking at the options available. Direct selling / via broker / go to auction? To be honest, I wasn't looking forward to this. I'd convinced myself that this whole process was going to be a bit of a pain. I'd envisioned bargaining back and forth with various entities, paying through the nose for commissions / insurance / postage etc... So, did some investigation, looked at number of these possibilities and decided to contact Mark Littler. No regrets. Quite simply: Great service from ML team So, what was good? Prompt communication Clear defined processes Very fair price offered Bottle Return process : Fully insured, solid packing materials provided. Contract clear & simple (client copy provided) Payment was completed within two days of them receiving my bottle So thanks Matt & Rachel. Your professionalism and friendly service has been greatly appreciated. Kind regards, Brian

Great service from beginning to end when we wanted to sell our Ben Nevis cask. Buyer was found very quick and the transaction went smooth. We also got to keep six sample bottles which we finally got delivered, after some issues with swedish Customs (again great support from Hannah at ML). Thanks for everything!

I had several casks of Scotch for many years and wanted to sell them. I'm in the US and was completely unaware as to how to do so. I cannot recommend Mark Littler LTD highly enough. Mark walked me through the steps of the process of selling from start to finish and it was flawless. Communication was excellent. My casks were sold quickly and for a very fair price.

In 1991 I purchased a number edition bottle of Midleton Very Rare whiskey in a box with the certification endorsed by the Master Distiller Barry Crockett whilst visiting Whiskey Corner in Dublin. It was stored in a cupboard until March 2013 when my wife suggested that we had it valued. Having searched on line for a whisky broker two options were presented by the internet one in Dublin and one in Congleton Cheshire. Mark Littler Independent Whisky Broker. From the first contact by phone with their staff members relating to my initial enquiry and the subsequent process of selling the bottle of whiskey they all dealt with the matter with very professionally and kept us fully informed at every stage of the process to achieve finding a buyer in their Online Shop. We personally delivered the Midleton Whiskey to their premises in Congleton in late March 2023 where Beth welcomed us to the very secure and tempreature controlled suite of offices where we met all the members of staff who would be dealing with our sale. My wife and I were handed a very detailed and simple contract of sale which Beth gave us time to read through and explained all the process of how the sale would be conducted by Mark Littler Ltd, and an initial offer price was agreed to commence the sale. In July Beth contacted us to suggest that we include our bottle in a video that was being produced to promote their whisky shop and items available for sale. The video was very professionally made and explained in detail each of the bottles on offer to prospective buyers. The sale of our bottle of Midleton Whiskey was completed in September at the price we had hoped to achieve when it was independently valued. During the whole [process of our dealings with Beth and Katy we kept up to date on the sale process, and the agreed sum of money achieved arrived in our bank account as promised. As valued customers we would fully endorse and recommend Mark Littler Ltd as a trustworthy company to sell your valuable times through either in their shop or at auction.

I really enjoy all the content, however when I contacted the company in order to sell my bottles, no one responded despite my 3 attempts over several weeks (email, website, Whatsapp link wasn't working). After submitting 2 star review Mark reached out within an hour and provided the valuation for the bottles along with advice. He explained that my email ended in spam which was valid reason for the delay so I edited my review to 5 stars which they deserve.

After 20 years I'm a bit maudlin at seeing my madeira butt go but the process was made easier by recruiting Mark Littler to assist. Communications with Mark and his team are quick and simple. What Mark says, he does, with openess and integrity which in these times of charlatanism is a relief to come across. His counsel and advice held water and helped me realise one of my ambitions. I contacted Mark after hearing him speak on the BBC's 'The Food Programme'. My thoughts were that if the BBC's production team had vetted him and found all wholesome then he would be good enough for me. As a result, I can reccomend Mark wholeheartedly. I will be going back to Mark in 5 years time when those casks I bought for our children will need to be sold to help them onto their respective property ladders. Many thanks Mark and team.

Mark provided an excellent service when I wanted to sell a large portion of my whisky collection. He provided a professional service, gave me sound advice and communicated on a regular basis during the marketing and selling process. I would highly recommend him and would use Mark again as he is hugely knowledgeable and a pleasure to deal with.

After my cask reached 10 years old I asked the distillery for a buy back price, which I thought was very low. Apparently they have no outlet for them. So deciding to sell privately I found Mark and contacted him based on previous reviews. I was not disappointed, he handled the sale from start to finish and sold my cask for 4x what the distillery had offered. When my next one comes of age Mark will be my first port of call.

I bought and sold bottles with Mark multiple times. He always delivers outstanding service, deliveries are very prompt and the bottles are protected above the rest of the industry (auction houses/shops). I would highly recommend Mark Littler Ltd as a way of selling and buying rare and collectible whisky bottles! Also great content on YouTube educating people regaling the subject of whisky investment!
I recently had the pleasure of working with Mark Littler, and I must say his services as a whisky broker have been nothing short of exceptional. As an overseas customer, I was initially unsure about how the process would go, but Mark quickly put my concerns to rest. 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. You won't be disappointed!

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.

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.
