Join the club y'all

By Faris Alkassim, Maryland, Verified Reviewer

Best booze club ever! Exclusive reserve bottles, wondrous tastings, worth triple the cost which is minimal. Join us! Flaviar is the best. Dump the rest! Their exclusive vault is mind boggling.

Great for novices

By Patrick Akins, Hillsboro, OR, Verified Reviewer

Being a person that doesn't know good spirits, I was hesitant about joining. First, I should say that I'm not a person that drinks regularly. I tend to have one drink a month, if that. My liquor cabinet, small as it may be, held many common brands.

Whatever hesitations I had were quickly squashed once my sample box arrived. My wife and I compared the smell of a bottle we had on hand to one of those from the sample box. The smell alone was mind-blowing. The common brand that you see on TV all the time didn't smell anything like what our sample box contained. I am learning more about spirits through every sip from my samples, and I look forward to more different sample boxes and ordering my first bottle in the near future!

Best thing to do!

By Brian Gary Kittredge, Dexter, NM, Verified Reviewer

Love the taste boxes, they give you a better idea of what you can purchase. Shipping is awesome! They contained the detailed explanations of the different products. There are so many choices that you can not find in the local liquor stores.

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

Great service, wide selection of rare whiskeys

By Samo Gazvoda, Sentjur, Slovenia, Verified Reviewer

I appreciate Flaviar as I am able to discover little-known whiskeys from all over the world. Tasting packs are also a great feature, allowing one to try some specific drinks before ordering the full bottle. Enjoying in small quantities, that's why hard liqueurs are all about, right?

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

A site for the adventurer in spirits

By Ian P Wigley, Morgan Hill, CA, Verified Reviewer

I applied for membership because I was looking for more information on fine spirits. Flaviar leans primarily toward Scotch and Bourbon/American whiskeys but also features rums, vodkas, gins, tequilas, mezcals and even absinthe. They provide a lot of information (even a smartass section).

Their prices are fair but retail. I can often find them at a discount, but this is California (housing is expensive but everything else is available at a discount somewhere). Still, they also have their own brand (Deer, Bear & Moose) offering premium private label spirits that are worth trying out.

A site for the well-heeled, discerning (or learning to be so) spiritualist.

Membership offers a free tasting selection once a quarter and free shipping.

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

Son of a Peat Blended Malt Scotch Whisky Batch 1

By Mark Meador, Longboat Key, FL, Verified Reviewer

Since this bottle arrived, it has become the most popular on my home bar. The earthiness of the peat and the smoke makes for a hearty dram. The senses fill with the aroma from the moment the bottle is uncorked.

Glad I purchased multiple bottles. I have already hid the second one to enjoy on my own.

Outstanding customer service

By Andrea Hoffman, Fredericksburg, VA, Verified Reviewer

Outstanding customer service! Truly the best I have ever seen. And they have a fantastic sense of humor, which is always a plus! My order arrived in perfect condition and in plenty of time. I know I will have a very happy hubby for Christmas!

Whistle Pig Blend

By Trygve Teigen, Richmond, VA, Verified Reviewer

This blend made for Flaviar was exceptionally smooth and enjoyable. Whistle Pig makes exclusive blends for a lot of places, and I have tasted a few. This was, in my opinion, the most flavorful. Flaviar consistently delivers quality, and I consider the membership well worthwhile. In Virginia, the state controls what can be sold in liquor stores, and Flaviar provides me the opportunity for excellent products not usually available to me.

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

My recent first experiences with Flaviar

By Lamar Thompson, O Fallon, Illinois 62269, Verified Reviewer

My first three order experiences were a little bad due to delivery issues with the carriers. The order numbers were 252729, 258270, and 259891. All had been shipped via FexEx, which is a horrible carrier in some areas. I have not had a satisfactory delivery from these people in 15 years, and I hope they go bankrupt and everyone they employ is unemployed for life.

I did eventually receive the three orders, and am very satisfied; if fact, I placed a fourth order yesterday, January 5th, 2018.

Just as an aside, for all three of the orders that had "delivery exceptions," I was at home and available to receive them. In fact, I saw the delivery trucks stop at my house, then drive off without making a delivery!

An excellent experience

By Ashcroft, Beds, United Kingdom, Verified Reviewer

When looking for something special, different, and perhaps unique, I found Flaviar to fulfill that for me. I have made several purchases now, and although I'm no great connoisseur of drinks/alcohol, I do like the specialness the company offers. I do enjoy all the funny emails and play on words too! Quite entertaining!

Drooling over booze

By Ken Brandt, Sheboygan, WI, Verified Reviewer

I was so happy to find a rare bourbon at a great price. It was shipped promptly and carefully. I love this company. You can't find this type of collection anywhere, and yes you do get an opportunity to find any kind of booze there is out there.

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