As with most names, there is meaning behind it.  The nature of Slow, whether slow swimming or slow coffee, is to do things leisurely at your own pace.  It’s the art of enjoying the journey just as much as the destination.

And we felt the Slow movement felt right at home in the world of whisky.  So grab your favourite dram, and enjoy life.  Whether kicking back with your favourite record, cooking up a feast for your friends or having a well-deserved nightcap, sip it slowly and smile.

A stress-free and delicious drinking experience.  We want to inspire a more explorative drinking experience, and we’ll do that through our whisky boxes that will be delivered every two or three months (depending on your subscription)

• The Heart Cut Whisky > Tailored to your flavour preferences, you’ll receive a bottle of one of our current releases
• Beer > In honour of our ‘Half + Heart’ pairings, you’ll receive two beers (inc. one low ABV) that we recommend pairing with this whisky
• More Whisky! > You read that right.  We’re all about exploration, which means trying different whiskies.  Each box will include two additional whiskies (3cl) that we’re really enjoying at the moment and want to share with you.
• Tasting Notes > You need to know what you’re drinking, right?  We’ll include an overview of what you’re drinking and why we love it 
• Music > The whole point of the Slow Whisky Club is to kick back and enjoy the good life.  Therefore, we’ll include a curated playlist for you to listen to while kicking back and enjoying your Half + Heart pairing.
• Drink Coaster > The final piece of the puzzle - a bespoke coaster matching your whisky

Top Notch Perks > And more! Priority access to all new releases from The Heart Cut and access to Subscription-only bottlings in the future (we’re working on this).

This will vary from box to box.  As part of your initiation to the Slow Whisky Club, we’ll ask you a few questions to find out what style of whisky you or your giftee likes.  Then, for your main bottle of whisky, we’ll choose something we think you’ll love from our current selection.  We’ll also include two samples of whisky that we LOVE at the time.  It could be a delicious Bourbon from the States, a European Rye, a Scotch or even a whisky from South Africa.  Whatever it is, we’re sure it will help broaden your whisky horizon whilst being delicious at the same time.  

It’s not just whisky in a box.  We came at this with the same mentality as we did when launching The Heart Cut, and that was to do something that already exists but make it more approachable.  Instilling a global lens on our whisky selections that excites today's whisky drinker.  Drinking whisky is more than just that, and we want this box to reflect that.  From a curated music selection to enjoy while sharing a dram with friends, to a beer to pair with your whisky after a long day, the Slow Whisky Club is all about the journey and our subscription service is designed to enjoy just that.

Watch this space.  We’re working on things behind the scenes.  If there’s anything you’d like to see, please reach out and let us know.

The Slow Whisky Club comprises of two parts.  The free element is where you sign up for our newsletter.  As part of that, we’ll keep you up-to-date on our upcoming releases, our favourite tipples and where to find them, plus lots more useful info about the world of drinks (& food - we also love food) through our fortnightly newsletter.  The paid side of things gets all of the above, plus your whisky experience box delivered every two or three months (depending on your subscription).

Join anytime! The membership runs on a bi or tri-monthly basis (a box every two or three months - depending on your subscription).  We have delivery cycles starting each month, so you’ll automatically be included in the next delivery cycle.

Our whisky boxes are delivered during the third week of each month.  Breaking that down further, once you’ve joined, your first payment will be taken on the 5th of the month.  We’ll then create and deliver everyone's bespoke boxes.  If you join on the 6th of the month, you’ll have to wait just over a month to receive your first whisky box, but trust us, it’s worth the wait.

Yes!  We will include a different whisky in your box.  This box will help you discover new distilleries and flavours, so we’ll give you something new each time.

Currently, we can't offer a choice of whisky in the Slow Whisky Club, but you can tell us what whisky you don’t want.  If you’ve tried some of our releases before and there’s one (or two) that just isn’t for you, let us know during your initiation period, and we won’t include it in any of your boxes.

Our shop door is always open.  If you want to order more bottles in between your boxes, you can order directly from our webshop or through one of our select retailers.

It costs £84 per delivery every two or three months (depending on your subscription).  Which works out to £42 or £28, respectively per month - we thought we’d save you getting out the calculator.

No.  Nada.  Zilch.  What kind of people would we be if we added in extra costs like we’re a low-budget airline…  But in all seriousness, we only charge for the box and its contents (£84).  We even cover the P&P costs to ensure we give you as much value as possible.

Payment is taken on the 5th day of each delivery month.

We will attempt to take it again, and if that fails, we’ll reach out to you directly to resolve the issue.  If the issue is not resolved by the 10th of the delivery month, your delivery will be cancelled for the month.  If the issue is resolved by the following month, we will include you in that delivery cycle.

We will deliver our whisky experience boxes every two or three months (depending on your subscription).  We aim to ship all boxes in the 3rd week of the delivery month.

Yes, you can pause your membership through your member portal.  You also have the option to gift your box.  Perhaps you have a friend's birthday coming up, or you just fancy doing a nice deed for someone you think would love this box

While this brings a tear to our eye, if you email us on hello@theheartcut.com we will help you cancel your membership.

Of course - email us on hello@theheartcut.com and we’ll do our best to help.

Yes. If you wish to cancel your renewal, please email us in advance of the next payment date (payment is taken on the 5th of each delivery month).

Yes. In the initial launch phase, we’ll be limiting the spaces per month to 50 people (this will grow in the future).

Yes.  Have that friend or family member that you always buy whisky for but want to freshen it up?  This is the perfect gift for them.  Simply choose the Gift package you’d like to purchase, and we’ll do the rest.  The Subscription will last the length of time that was purchased.

Yes.  We can include a handwritten note in each box.  Write your message in the notes section, and Georgie (who has much better handwriting than Fabrizio) will write the note.

They simply receive a box and enjoy its contents.  It couldn’t be easier (& extremely enjoyable) for them.

The recipient will be offered the opportunity to sign up for our subscription service.  If they opt in, great; if not, there’s no hard feelings, we’ll simply stop the service then.

P&P is free for all Slow Whisky Club boxes in England, Wales and Scotland.

Our whisky experience boxes are sent during the third week of each month. Once you’ve subscribed, we’ll update you via email on the arrival of your next whisky. The cut-off for new subscriptions is always the 4th of the month, so if you order on the 5th, 6th or 7th, you’ll wait just a little more than a month for your first drop.

We ship using Royal Mail 2nd class, so the shipping time is normally 3 -5 working days, but delivery times vary a little depending on where you live. When we send your monthly despatch email, there will be a delivery window - if this has lapsed and you still don't have your whisky, please email us.

Send your subscription details and the name of the whisky you’re waiting on to hello@theheartcut..com, and we’ll get straight on to Royal Mail to find out what’s happened. But don’t worry: even if the posties have misplaced it, we’ll happily pop a replacement box in the post for you.

In the really (really) rare event that your whisky arrives damaged, drop us a line at hello@theheartcut.com with your subscription details. If you can, send us a picture of the damage – it helps speed things up if we can see what the damage is.

Sign into your Slow Whisky Club account and click on 'Manage Subscription' to update your postal or email address. If you’re moving home, remember to let us know before your next monthly billing date, when your next monthly order is generated – otherwise, your whisky might end up at your old place. Please note, we use Royal Mail, so if you have a redirection in place it will filter through to you.

Not yet, but watch this space. Better yet, follow us on social, and we’ll announce there as soon as we do
