Dram X
For Vendors

Sell on
Dram X.

Dram X is a UK marketplace for single-malt Scotch whisky — casks and rare bottlings. Vendors are the legal sellers; we operate the storefront, take a commission, and handle payments, invoicing, and customer service on your behalf. This page summarises what is needed to list with us.

The Commercial Model

You are the seller

The contract of sale is between you and the customer. You issue title; you carry product liability.

We are your disclosed agent

Dram X markets, collects payment, and provides customer service as your commercial agent under a signed agreement.

Commission, not markup

We retain a commission on each completed sale. Commission is netted from your payout. No hidden margin on the listed price.

Self-billed invoicing

Under HMRC self-billing, we prepare the VAT invoice in your name. You keep the records; we handle the issuance.
