Excellent

By Adam, Verified Reviewer

I enjoy being adventurous with my tastes, so finding websites offering diversity always catch my attention. Among the number of retailers I have purchased samples from, Flaviar has been the most impressive.

So far I have tried a number of the tasting packs offered, all left me suitably impressed. Tasting packs provide a generous sample of five different spirits, chosen to offer a full contrast of flavors. Each set is bottled and packaged attractively. Provided leaflets offer in-depth tasting notes, background information and a little extra for the 'geeks at heart'. I believe they are designed to be shared, not that I do this.

I've had no bad experiences with the retailer, delivery times have been reasonable. Customer service has been prompt, polite and always has a personal feel to dialogue. Overall, would recommend.

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

Quality, Variety and professional

By Donald Barger , Columbus, Ohio

I have been a member since December of 2014 and have purchased over 20 bottles including very fine Scotch, Tequila that will put you on you backside, Rums from so many countries, Whiskey and Gin. My very favorite so far has been the Ron Zacapa Rum from Guatemala, man is that a smooth and wonderful rum.

I have had only one glitch in all of these orders and that was the fault of the USPS. not Flaviar. When this happened, the wonderful Concierge at Flaviar kept in contact with me throughout the problem solving process. I will buy many more Spirits with confidence and be sure of it's quality.

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

Flaviar tastes great

By Ceri Fido , Cardiff, UK

I first heard of this site via Groupon and ordered a tasting pack for my husband for Christmas. He loved it. Since then, we have ordered another three bottles and another tasting pack. The company has kept us up to date with ordering and delivery details via e mail. The deliveries have been quick and well packaged. Some products are out of our price range but others are well priced. We would recommend this company to others because we have always received good service.

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

Great customer service, good selection, and reasonable prices

By Nisha Shendrikar, Fairfax, VA, Verified Reviewer

I have been ordering my husband's birthday, Christmas, anniversary, Father's Day, etc. gifts from Flaviar for about 2 years now. It's an easy gift, not requiring much thought, and he always loves what I pick out.

Unlike a number of the reviews on this website, I have had no problems with my orders arriving on time. In fact, they have often arrived earlier than expected, like this year's Father's Day gift that came 2 weeks early. It should be noted that the bottles are coming from overseas so one should expect 2-3 weeks for delivery (in a week). If you want quicker delivery, then you need to pay for it. I always make sure I order well enough in advance that I don't need to worry. Plus, their shipping costs are about 25% that of other companies, which makes it even more affordable.

The one time I did have an issue with an order, it was when trying to use a coupon code and Flaviar's customer service was very helpful when trying to fix the problem, even giving me a credit for my next purchase.

All in all, I would recommend Flaviar to a friend and have on quite a few occasions. :)

By Stephen Blacke, Ozark, Missouri, Verified Reviewer

The Best Variety in the World

By Steven Barr , Elyria, OH

I came across Flaviar quite by accident, but what a happy accident. While searching online for a whisky I had heard of, but was unable to buy at my local store, I discovered Flaviar.

They have allowed me to become acquainted with a wide variety of scotches and other whiskeys (as well as other varieties of liquor) from across Scotland and around the globe.

The convenience of the varietal tasting packs, the awesomeness of having select bottles delivered to my doorstep, Flaviar is simply fantastic.
