Flaviar

The background information is outstanding. I never expected to get an education as well as great Spirits. With the School of Spirits and the Flaviar phone app, you’re sure to enjoy learning what makes your preferred drink so special.

I'm a recent member, but I've already bought probably a dozen bottles of Scotch and Mezcal from Flaviar that I just couldn't get locally (even at our really big, really well-stocked liquor store, T.W.).

Easy examples are a nice Johnnie Walker Blue Ghost and Rare, and Highland Park Dark 17-year-old. These were really cool finds that I just couldn't get elsewhere. I got an Inchmurrin 18-year-old that also was a pretty interesting find.

Then within Mezcals what I loved was the variety that I could get. Just a few clicks and I had a Tobala, a Tepeztate, and an Arroqueno mezcal on the way to my house. Espadin is all over the place, of course, but getting different agaves can be challenging, and the selection I found at Flaviar was fantastic.

Looking forward to continuing to expand my bar with you!

Terrible, or better, no customer service. No phone number to call. Just an email that says they will get back to you within 24 hours. I have been shipping product for over 25 years to customers and never did I experience probably the worse shipping ever, CDL Last Mile. WHAT COMPANY uses a shipping company with a review score of 1.4 stars on Google. I started my subscription around Father’s Day and as of August 5, I still do not have my 1st product.

If you live in the bourbon bubble then this may not be for you. Most things I can buy cheaper locally. There are some rarities where prices are cheaper for some reason. If you want liquor from smaller distillers then this might be for you. They carry big brands too but you can probably get it locally.

Free shipping is the only real perk that I enjoyed and they kept messing that up and I would have to contact them and get them to reset it. One time this happened while trying to get the Flaviar barrel pick of Woodford Double oaked. By the time they fixed it the bottles were sold out.

If they sell out that fast they should do more picks. My other bourbon club has probably done 10 barrel picks in the last year of whiskey and usually they sell out in a month unless the shipping is ridiculous. So if that was the case here then it would be worth being a member.

The samples are so limited in choice and often very cheap bottles are paired with more expensive ones in a tasting box so the value isn’t what it seems usually, especially if you calculate it per ounce. There are trustworthy Facebook groups where you can get samples cheaper and of harder to find stuff and get it shipped.

Customer service has been fairly quick to deal with issues but I would expect these things to be automated more like my free shipping being automatically credited back to my account so I can order something else.

I had fun searching the site and seeing all the different types of spirits, found a good selection of scotch, bourbon and other spirits to choose from at great prices, my order was delivered quickly with no issues, can't wait to place my next order.

I received this as a gift from my wife. I was very excited. I went online right after I received the gift on my birthday in February. I was supposed to be sent the initial tasting box when I signed up. A few days later I ordered 2 bottles of bourbon. I waited for 6 weeks and had still not received my tasting box nor the bottles I received. I contacted the company about both orders and received the bottles I ordered but not my tasting box in about a week. The bottles were received on 4/9/19 and ordered on 2/17/19. The tasting box was ordered on 2/16/19 and a FedEx shipping label (FedEx number 478231884556) was created on 2/27/2019 and I have still not received this as of 6/25/2019. I am not surprisingly unsatisfied and would strongly discourage anyone from using this service.

KORNOG is the most satisfying Peated MALT outwith Scotland that I have ever had the pleasure of opening a bottle.

This French or Breton Distiller takes every detail to create a superb whisky - I look forward to Flaviar having some of his other whisky to try.

I just have to say if you don't have Flaviar I don't know what the heck is wrong with you. This is my first whiskey club and I should smack myself for not joining sooner. I only buy whiskeys or whatever that I never heard of or has cool looking bottles. If you're looking at this post I will tell you go ahead and join, you would not regret it.

I can't get customer service to help me. I live in a state (North Carolina) that is apparently impossible to send liquor, but Flaviar doesn't warn you before they take your membership. In 6 months I haven't received a single order, but they have taken my money. They like to "respond" on Twitter, Facebook, etc. to publicly tell me they will help me, but I cannot get a response directly.

I joined the club 30 days ago. I have placed 2 orders with Flaviar at that time. I have not received either order orders. I have sent 4-5 emails asking for help and to talk to someone regarding my orders. I never get a call back, just a standard stock apology email. No one will help you if you have a problem. Based on my experience, this company is a scam. I will soon have to escalate this to a higher level. Don't make the same mistake I did by joining this club. Buyer beware!

This company is a typical scam. Ordered my membership on June 6th and still has not received my 1st quarterly order. In response to my multiple emails, I am only getting "We are sorry, will check with our vendors."

Be very careful not to sign-up with them!
