Great Whisky

By Edd S., London, England, Verified Reviewer

I highly recommend Flaviar for their selection of whisky and customer service. It takes a little time for the delivery but it is well worth it. The Tasting Boxes are beautifully presented and are great fun.

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

Great experience

By Wayne M., Wisconsin, Verified Reviewer

I received a coupon code to try Flaviar for a discounted rate and thought, what the heck. The cost paid goes toward a bottle of your choice. The tasting box, we could pick ourselves, but it took several weeks for it to arrive, which was a little bit frustrating. At this point, I really enjoyed the experience of receiving a tasting box, but will only continue if the pricing isn't too high going forward. The info, the choices, and the theme are all very neat.

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

Do not join

By Courtney B., Worcester, MA, Verified Reviewer

This is the worst experience I have had with a company. One our order didn’t ship, then we receive an item we didn’t order and the invoice was for someone else. Now another person has our order and somehow found our information and has been contacting me and my family to get his bottle. And now there is no response from Flaviar. Now this random person has my phone number and address. This is a huge breach of privacy. This is pathetic and a waste of time and money.

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

Top shelf outfit!

By Wade L., Canaan, ME, Verified Reviewer

I’m so glad to have joined Flaviar! Being relatively new to spirits overall, things like reviews, product details and especially the tasting boxes, have allowed me to make informed decisions when making purchases.

The customer service has been second to none, regardless of who I am dealing with (though Valerie has been exceptional as I’ve dealt with her primarily!). I’ve already referred one friend (and they have an awesome referral program to boot) and look forward to sending more Flaviar’s way!

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

Spiritual awakening

By Alex P., Denver, CO, Verified Reviewer

Over the past year, I have sampled 24 spirits via Flaviar's sample packs (only 1 of which I was not fond of), had the opportunity to attend a members-only meeting in a Denver speakeasy, had the opportunity to attend a private blending and bottling experience at Breckenridge Distillery, and have purchased a bottle each of an Irish Whiskey, Scotch Whisky, and Irish Gin for under $50 for all three combined. Needless to say, this past year has been a "spiritual" awakening that still seems too good to be true, and it keeps getting better.

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

Choice of merchant!

By Jim M., Oak Island, NC, Verified Reviewer

Quick delivery and fabulous prices are what sets Flaviar apart from other merchants. A great selection of the most wanted spirits you will find anywhere. My choice for my bourbon taste.

Second time was a charm.

By Bill C., Iowa, Verified Reviewer

My current membership is not my first, as I had belonged for more than a year before leaving for a while. The second time around there was more financial incentive to revisit a membership. Currently, I'm satisfied with my memberships benefits for what I spend, as there a plethora of available products that I simply cannot always find (even online). Flaviar is the first place I look for products, or information about products (as not all items are stocked at all times), but this is part of the curating process at Flaviar. It's much more than an online liquor distributor, they are knowledgeable and share this expertise with their customers.

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

Great tasting samples and presentation

By Paul B., Hoofddorp, Netherlands, Verified Reviewer

I joined Flaviar just a month ago, and am very satisfied with the whole setup from the different kinds of drinks.

It's not only about tasting, but there is a lot more, like good information and layout.

Especially the tasting card with their different zones for flavors, very clear.

Didn't expect that my order from the States came within 5 days to the Netherlands. Chapeau!

Read about what you can taste.

By Spence V., Monroe, WI, Verified Reviewer

By joining, I was given a chance to learn the difference of whisky to whiskey. How I should properly taste the liquor I am enjoying. Exclusive offers, exclusive liquor, brilliant for taste buds and a great way to expand my search for better liquor.

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

Skeptic

By Steve F., Wichita, KS, Verified Reviewer

At first I was a skeptic. I got a bottle for joining, and then another for referring a friend, and then another for referring another friend. I read the description of a few libations and decided to try a few (in my tasting box). Also tried a Spiced Rum (not my normal drink) and was completely surprised.

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

Well done!

By Raphaël V., Belgium, Verified Reviewer

I do appreciate 2 main things about Flaviar.

#1 - Their light, funny and engaging communication style.

#2- Their classy web design and packaging stuff.

Their lineup is rather broad and consistent.

Need time to get further acquainted.

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