Skeptic

By Steve F., Wichita, KS, Verified Reviewer

At first I was a skeptic. I got a bottle for joining, and then another for referring a friend, and then another for referring another friend. I read the description of a few libations and decided to try a few (in my tasting box). Also tried a Spiced Rum (not my normal drink) and was completely surprised.

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Spiritual awakening

By Alex P., Denver, CO, Verified Reviewer

Over the past year, I have sampled 24 spirits via Flaviar's sample packs (only 1 of which I was not fond of), had the opportunity to attend a members-only meeting in a Denver speakeasy, had the opportunity to attend a private blending and bottling experience at Breckenridge Distillery, and have purchased a bottle each of an Irish Whiskey, Scotch Whisky, and Irish Gin for under $50 for all three combined. Needless to say, this past year has been a "spiritual" awakening that still seems too good to be true, and it keeps getting better.

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Don't understand the negative feedback.

By Antoon W. Rufi, Newport News, VA, Verified Reviewer

I have been ordering tasting packs and individual bottles from Flaviar for about six months now and have nothing but praise for the company. I am highly impressed with the variety they offer. Of all the orders I have placed, I only had one that required a three week wait. I have noticed that some come to my post office, and I have to go and sign for it, while some are delivered to my home. I'm not sure why this is, but may explain some of the issues with delivery I have noticed on some of the previous negative posts.

I'm not sure how they do it, but they make me feel like a VIP, while keeping cost reasonable. I think that is the key to the niche they fill. Educate and personalize, if they keep working on that, they will continue to have happy customers like me.

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Excellent Experience

By Seth Woodard , St. Anthony, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada

Well it's things like the personal replies that make Flaviar so great. When I asked a question a month or so ago I received a prompt and personalized reply that completely answered my question. Also, all shipments have arrived (and come on guys, of course it takes a while to get from Europe to North America), and I've loved tasting different Whiskeys (and Whiskys) from around the world that I would probably never taste or even hear of had Flaviar not sent them to me. It's like going to a tasting at the best Whiskey bar in town once a month, except that I live in a town of 2,000 people in the Canadian tundra and such things do not exist up here. The website is great, I like the interactive "my bar" feature and Flaviar has done nothing but impress so far.

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Quality Liquor for the Masses

By Andrew Eichel , Knoxville, TN

As an avid scotch and whiskey fan living in a somewhat small town in Tennessee with antiquated liquor laws, I face the unhappy situation of having few options when it comes to high-quality or hard-to-find distillations. However, because of Flaviar I have been able to experiment with many kinds of whiskey and therefore have expanded my palate and experience. I appreciate all of Flaviar's hard work and I look forward to ordering another bottle soon.

Great Experience

By Mick Ryan , Nashville, TN

I've purchased 10 plus bottles of liquor from Flaviar and have been happy with every single one, never had any issues with shipping, although it does take a few weeks. I've never had a damaged bottle at all. I really enjoy the site as I'm able to discover new bottles and flavors that I would not normally find anywhere in my area and wouldn't even have known to ask for a special order. I've recommended this site to my friends and will continue to purchase from them.

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Loving the experience

By Marina , London, UK

We love to organize tastings when our friends are over and Flaviar is perfect for it. There is a good selection of drinks from around the world and just enough to share it around the table and taste a selection. I'm keen to order it again.

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Great Company.

By Jason , Savannah, GA

I've been impressed with the selection of Scotch Flaviar offers. I'm relatively new to Scotch drinking and enjoy reading about what they offer and trying select bottles. They always manage to find and offer selections which aren't readily available in most liquor stores. I also like the ability to shop from home online. The free shipping and no sales tax are also great. So what if shipping takes a little while, it's a great deal and experience when it arrives.

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Flaviar's Gotten Real!

By David, CT, Verified Reviewer

About 10 months ago, it was hard to determine if Flaviar was real or a scam. I placed an order and didn't hear from them in something like 60 days before my product arrived. I was upset.

However, hope springs eternal. Last month, I ordered a 3-pack from them. 10 days later, product delivered! Sweet! Great stuff, reasonable price and they seem to have ironed-out their shipping and customer service issues. I'll buy again from them.

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Never got it

By Sophie , London, England

It just got lost in the mail! It was supposed to be a nice Christmas present, but apparently it has been lost in the post office even though there is no tracking? I got a refund, but it was such a hassle to get. This is ridiculous.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Company Response from Flaviar Ltd.

Dec 28, 2015

Dear Sophie,

Thanks for letting us know of the issue.

Tracking statuses are sometimes unreliable and we've experienced a few more issues with Royal Mail tracking in the last month than is usual. We understand that this is an inconvenience and we're already looking for solutions.

We pride ourselves into being very customer-centric. From your recount I imagine you found us through one of the deal-of-the-day websites? In this case refund claims need to be addressed by them and we, sadly, have no control of how they conduct their business.

If you had issues with obtaining a refund from our company directly then please write to us again at hello@flaviar.com and I'll be most happy to look into your matter again and redress any grievances we may have caused by mishandling your case.
