Flaviar - a world of flavour

By Damian Hassan, Verified Reviewer

My wife bought me a subscription to Flaviar as a birthday present, and it has been well worth it.

Each month, Flaviar send me a tasting pack of 5 different spirits, each sealed in its own 45ml container. The packaging is well designed - a stylish black box containing the 5 vials with accompanying tasting notes.

So far (6 months into my annual subscription) I have had boxes featuring varieties of a single spirit (2x whisky, rum, bourbon, and gin), and a box of mixed spirits that shared a 'golden silk' mouth feel.

Now before this subscription I would have said I was a whisky or gin drinker, some bourbons were OK, and I disliked rum. Flaviar has introduced me to some wonderful Bourbons (I particularly liked Knob Creek 9 year old), and delicious rums.

Flaviar also sell bottles of spirits at a substantial discount. They have a wide range with a few familiar names, many unusual brands (at least to me), and the occasional super-premium bottle - the latter being much too expensive for my wallet.

I look forward each month to my tasting pack, and I would recommend it to anyone who would like to widen their experience of the world of spirits - world being the apposite term, as I have tasted whisky from India (OK), Japan (wonderful), France (surprisingly good), Scotland, Wales, and Switzerland - that last one was very surprising, with a strong hint of smoky bacon in the taste profile.

Their customer service is excellent. I get an email to let me know when the next tasting pack has been dispatched, with a tracking number, and they have sorted any problems for me very quickly.

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

Great Site

By Joe , Sedalia, MO, USA

I have purchased a couple of times from Flaviar and the experience has been great! Plenty of selection and the prices are comparable and usually better then elsewhere. Shipping is much improved from my first purchase here. Even then, the rep from Flaviar was very knowledgeable and easy to work with.

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

Gin Palace

By Christine Gilliver , West Yorkshire, England

I first tried Flaviar via a Groupon offer for a Gin Tasting experience and six sample bottles of fabulousness duly arrived for me plus the same for my best friend as her Christmas present. We spent an amazing sunny afternoon in our garden trying them out as we saved them for a few months before savoring them. Obviously the gin was accompanied by a lot of nibbles and laughter. I've been hooked on Flaviar offers ever since.

Their latest offering of the Blue coat Bourbon infused gin is nearly gone, will have to start on the VL92 soon

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

The Best Rum

By Gerald Hone , Swansea, South Wales, U.K.

So easy to order, shipped and delivered in a great time scale! The Product was as described and packaged well, arriving safely and intact. The Bottle delivered to me was of a Rum that I had not tasted before. It was strong and wonderfully flavored, very powerful. It was Lemon Hart 151 at 75.50% gorgeous mixed with other soft drinks. Do not try drinking it neat unless you want to lose you tongue! This is great for Christmas. I would recommend this for anyone throwing a party. Stick this in your Punch, taxis all round.

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