Packaging and shipping were absolutely fine. All came undamaged because well packed in air cushion. The pitcher is an eye-catcher and convinces with its excellent workmanship. One point I must deduct unfortunately because my taste has a little disappointed. Unfortunately, he does not have that typical aroma Tullamore. But since I do not dispose of the jar with certainty when it is empty, you can refill it so then with the contents of a glass bottle.
