Nestled alongside the swanky Elliot Stables, you will this beautiful little store. There isn't an…read moreextensive range of accessories but the selection of whisky here is amazing. Scotch, bourbon, even New Zealand whiskey and then a selection of gin and vodkas for good measure. The quality of the product in The Whiskey Shop is first class and they offer tasting and appreciation experiences along with helpful tips on their website. The staff in-store were a little preoccupied during our Sunday excursion there however it is a great little specialist shop in the CBD.

Money can't buy you happiness but it can buy you whiskey which is pretty much the same thing. Never…read morea truer statement I don't reckon. The Whiskey Shop is a real mans man sort of store. Dark wood veneers, sumptuous leather couches. All you need is a cigar in one hand and a tumbler of whiskey in your other and you could be the perfect picture of the country squire. They stock all imported and hard to find bottles of whiskey here, many of them aged to perfection. And if whiskey ain't your thing, you can find a mixture of other alcoholic drops in their Spirit Store. I found a 21 year old bottle of Appleton rum here which was so out of my price range to be laughable, but I coveted it anyway. For an interactive experience they do whiskey tastings that cater to whiskey newbies to self proclaimed connoisseurs. I'm planning on attending the next friend bring a friend event!

I have been here a few times to purchase red wine namely Pinot Noir & Vodka. The staff are very knowledgable and helpful. They asked me if I needed assistance with choosing anything - have offered to carry my alcohol to the counter and chatted to me all the way through! They have regular offers & discounts on many brands so that's appealing! They sell soft drink, have a separate refrigerated beer room and stock all snack food too - at a premium price. I never feel under pressure to choose what I want (there is a big selection), which is good! Easy parking, open 7 days.

This is where I've been buying my booze since that thankful day I turned 18 back in 2009…read more Convenience is a pretty big factor for why I come here as it's usually on route to or from home. But besides that I also enjoy coming here because the service is always friendly and I've had quite the memorable chats in here before a big night out. There always seems to be a vast selection of things, which is good because I can be a bit indecisive sometimes. Nevermind that there's beer, wine, spirits and RTD's galore in here so I always walk out with something to get the night started in a good way. There's recently been a bit of a re-vamp inside, which has changed the layout slightly. But the store itself is still as good as it's ever been.

I've been coming to this local-chain retailer ever since I first visited Auckland, many years ago,…read moreand Glengarry continues to be my preferred vendor of wines, for many reasons. First and foremost, the quality of the staff, at each of the locations is most positive. Though this location is where I purchase the overwhelming bulk of my wines, and have actually stored many cases of wine here for years at no additional charge, I have visited many of the area stores, and have consistently found the staff to be knowledgeable, friendly and helpful at all locations. Obviously there is a positive ethos inculcated from the top management and it carries throughout. The selection of wines, obviously heavy in New Zealand wines, but also from every part of the world attests to their thoroughness in offering their customer what they desire. In addition, they offer an extensive selection of spirits, most notably, whiskeys, also from all over. Prices are most fair, and usually undercut what the wineries offer for sale at their cellar door by 5-10%. There are always specials, based by promotional buys, etc. Gift wrapping is available and graciously promoted at no additional charge. Credit charge usage does not incur any additional fee. This location has recently installed a full-service café to satisfy those caffeine and pastry cravings. Parking is ample, both on their lot and on the street a few steps from their front door.
