Awesome for discovering, not so great for anything else

By Paul, Florida, Verified Reviewer

I've been a member for over six months and enjoy browsing through the selection. However, that's the best part of the site.

The rest of the site is useless. They have a wishlist but don't notify you when wish listed items come back into stock/rotation. I can't even FIND my wishlist anymore.

There are very limited search options (new arrivals, classics and then by type), and there is no way to customize your experience.

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

Great discoveries

By Angelica Dooley, Ireland, Verified Reviewer

I've been a member for over three years now, and I love it, but full disclosure: I think I signed up before you were REQUIRED to take the box you're sent, i.e. I can skip a shipment and NOT pay for it if I don't like the sound of a box.

That being said, I really do like this service, and I've found several new "favorite" spirits through it. I'm a whiskey girl, so wouldn't bother spending money on, say, an expensive (or even middling) bottle of rum, but getting five little samples is so much more doable. Okay, some of the stuff I don't like, but how would I know if I didn't try?

I am actually writing this review while sampling my latest package of 'whiskeys aged in beer barrels.' I would never in a hundred years buy such an 'experimental' type of whiskey, but I'm really surprised. No, I did NOT like the first one I tried but loved the second. It's all about the experience. Three more to go.

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

Fun times and good whiskey

By Jesse Hennessey, Connecticut, Verified Reviewer

I signed up myself and a friend as a Christmas gift last year. Getting a tasting box delivered every three months has been a lot of fun. We line all of them up and judge them like criminals in Mega-City One. Then we pick a winner, and it's usually me.

We also decide which sample we liked best and order up a bottle for the end of year winner's circle.

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

Great scotch

By Keith Whigham, Blackpool, England, Verified Reviewer

As a malt whiskey drinker, I find the description of what to expect taste-wise is extremely helpful. The reviews mean I can buy with confidence, which means I don't waste money on what I don't like the sound of. I would recommend Flaviar to everyone from no matter be you an expert or a beginner like myself.

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

First Flaviar purchase

By Todd Thomsen, Florida, Verified Reviewer

I have been reviewing the Flaviar selection for months. Often wanting to make a selection, but never really confident in the results. I finally order my first selection and was impressed by the quality product and timing of delivery. I cannot wait to sit and enjoy the spirits.

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

Great tastes

By Frank Coffey, Knoxville, TN, Verified Reviewer

So great to experience all the best liquors of the world before buying a full bottle. I like to gather a few friends and we take turns tasting the samples and giving our unique impressions with each other that the flavors leave us with.

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

Great time, all the time!

By Donald B Thorne Jr., Catskill, NY, Verified Reviewer

My review. I am not a drinker, per say, but I like what they have at different times and they don't cater to just the higher-ups. That's what I like. We can sit at the laptop and just laugh at some of the names and designs, and then they have great prices so we appreciate the fact that the retired working class person can have a choice of fine drinks, thanks to them.

Thank you.

Recent Flaviar purchase

Hard-to-find spirits at good prices

By H Annen, Chicago, IL, Verified Reviewer

I have made a number of purchase of whiskeys that I could not find locally. Flaviar's selection is limited at any given time but is always changing and 'good stuff' turns up quite often. They also have very rare spirits.

Flaviar ships from the US so the shipping prices for whiskeys from Ireland, Scotland, etc. are better than overseas vendors. Their shipments are always well-packaged and delivered is a very timely manner.

Their service is excellent, and I recommend Flaviar without reservation.

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

Small distilleries around the world

By John Wiggins, Daytona Beach, FL, Verified Reviewer

The single distilleries that Flaviar has found and has gotten single batches from them are the best tasting liquor I ever had at a reasonable price. Flaviar finds the little places that normal bars and even high-end bars would not have. Keep it up Flaviar.

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