COVID 19 UPDATE

The wellbeing of our customers and staff continues to be our priority and the following measures are in place to ensure the highest levels of safety and hygiene:

• Hand sanitiser is located at the entrance/exit of the shop – please make use of it as you enter and leave.
• In line with Government guidance, face coverings are mandatory in our store (unless you are exempt). Face masks are available if you have forgotten yours.
  
• Due to the size of the shop we will continue to restrict the number of customers in the shop at any one time and request that you maintain a safe distance from other customers and staff when shopping
• To enable other customers not to have to wait too long you may be asked to limit your shopping time.
• Regular cleaning will continue to be carried out, particularly of high touch spots such as door handles, throughout the working day.
• Please avoid touching goods that you do not intend to buy.
• We are only accepting card payments at this time.
• If you prefer, you may order by telephone for collection during opening hours.

We thank you for all the support you have given and continue to give us in these unusual times and look forward to seeing you soon.

Arkwrights is a specialist independent whisky retailer owned and run by Ken and Fran Thomas.   Established in the 1990s in the Wiltshire town of Highworth we have an extensive range of over 1300 whiskies, available to buy via the website or from the shop itself.

Whisky is our passion and the ethos behind the website is very much the same as for the shop – we aim to provide a professional, knowledgeable service with a very personal touch to both our UK and international customers.  We are always on hand to give friendly and expert advice on our huge range of whiskies that include single malts, blends and many rare and collectable expressions – whether it’s in person if you visit us in the shop, or via phone or email if you’re shopping online.  All price levels are catered for, and also in stock are champagnes, a range of fine wines, rums. gins and other spirits.

All the whiskies from the shop are available online for delivery in the UK and abroad at competitive rates.  If you want to know more, or need any help or advice, then just contact us – we’d love to hear from you!

Slainte!
Ken and Fran
