Terms of use

What this site is

The Dram Desk is an independent publisher of editorial content about whiskey gifts and accessories. We write reviews, comparisons and buying guides. We are not a retailer: we do not sell anything, take payments, hold stock or ship goods. When you buy something you have read about here, you are buying it from a third-party retailer under their terms.

Using this site

You may read, link to and quote this site with attribution. You may not republish substantial portions of it, scrape it wholesale, or present our writing as your own.

This site is intended for adults of legal drinking age in their jurisdiction. Nothing here is an encouragement to drink; it is about the glassware and accessories around a drink.

How our recommendations should be read

This is the part worth reading properly.

• We have not tested any of these products. Our recommendations are based on compiled published specifications, cited independent sources and editorial judgment - the method is here. They are opinions, informed ones, and not test results.
• Specifications come from the maker. We read them off live listings and date them. Makers change products, revise listings and discontinue lines without notice, so verify anything that matters to you before buying.
• Prices change constantly. Prices on this site render from a live data layer with the date they were checked. The price at the retailer at the moment of checkout is the only one that counts.
• Availability is not guaranteed. A product we recommend may be out of stock or gone entirely by the time you read the page.

Affiliate relationships

We earn commission on qualifying purchases made through links on this site, at no additional cost to you. Commission never determines what we recommend or in what order. The full disclosure is here and it forms part of these terms.

Third-party sites

We link to retailers and to external sources. We do not control those sites and are not responsible for their content, their terms, their privacy practices or your transactions with them.

No warranty

This site is provided as is. We take real care with accuracy - and we correct errors in place with a dated note - but we do not warrant that everything on it is complete, current or error-free. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any loss arising from reliance on the information here or from a purchase made through a link.

Nothing on this site is professional advice of any kind, including health, safety or financial advice.

Intellectual property

The text, structure and original imagery on this site belong to us. Product photographs are supplied by the retailer and belong to their respective owners. Editorial photography is licensed stock. Brand and product names are the trademarks of their owners, used here for identification and comment.

Changes

We may update these terms. The date at the top of the page reflects the current version, and continued use of the site after a change means you accept the updated terms.
