Flaviar shmaviar

By Kate Field, Wisconsin, Verified Reviewer

If you are really into expensive liquor and want to try tiny little samples before investing in a bottle I guess this is good. The promotions however are confusing as to exactly what you will receive for your $60 'membership'. I saw an article about this in a magazine that sounded like you got 3 months of samples - 3 small vials of whiskey the first time and then you get to choose the next 2 months of samples - rum, vodka, gin, whatever. In actuality we got 3 samples of whiskey for $60 and that was it. Oh but this membership 'allows' us to buy more expensive booze to impress our friends, detailed information about the booze, distiller, etc. So what. I can read all that stuff online and buy quality booze at Costco or locally. What a disappointing Fathers Day gift this was! There isn't any way to get your money back either. So with my membership cancelled I get nothing but a bad whiskey taste in my mouth.

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

Company Response from Flaviar Ltd.

Dear Kate,

Thank you for reviewing our service and for giving me the opportunity to address your concerns. I'm terribly sorry to hear that you were disappointed with the Flaviar Father's Day Gift.

You have contacted our customer care on July 15 and forwarded the link to the website that promoted our Father's Day Gift (3, 6 and 12 months of Flaviar Membership). We got back to you immediately with the full explanation of what the membership entails: one tasting box per quarter, monthly free shipping, access to exclusive content, online tasting course, exclusive deals, live events etc.

I'm sorry to hear you don't find enough value in what we offer as the tasting boxes are only one of the major club's benefits.

I've looked through our correspondence and haven't been able to find your request for a refund, I'm sorry. Saying that there is no way to get your money back is simply not correct, though. Here is our cancellation policy that can be found in our terms and conditions:

You may cancel your Membership any time by contacting our Membership team. Any refunds are calculated based on the 90-day Membership period as follows. If you cancel within 3 days of signing up to a paid Membership, we will refund your full Membership fee. We may charge you (or withhold from your refund) the value of benefits used by you and your account during this 3-day period. If you cancel at any other time, we will refund your Membership fee pro-rata, based on the remaining duration of the Membership, but only if you and your account did not make any eligible purchases or take advantage of Membership benefits since your latest Membership charge.

I really hope I've managed to address your concerns sufficiently but don't hesitate to contact us at hello@flaviar.com if you need further assistance. Thank you!

Teeling Small Batch

By Brian, Camas, WA, Verified Reviewer

If you haven't yet sampled Teeling Small Batch and you are an Irish whisky aficionado, you must! It stands well with many more expensive Scotches, and outshines nearly all of it's Irish brethren! Smooth, even palate with a long lasting finish.

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

Waste of money, liars!

By Daniel, Marlton, NJ, Verified Reviewer

I order the flavors of Scotch. In the description it states there will be three .7 liter bottles for $41, which sounded like a nice deal. I received my shipment today and come to find out, it was three 45ml bottles. I am angry at the idea that their app LIED about the size of the bottles I was ordering and the fact that it cost so much for a very small amount. I am sickened. If I could could give zero stars I would. Also, I still have not received my rum kit which I am sure I will be disappointed about as well.

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

Dear Daniel,

Thank you for taking the time to pen down your concerns. We work hard to provide the best possible experience for our members and do our best to address every single concern.

You're referring to the full-size bottles volume, mentioned at the part where we explain which drinks are included in the Tasting Box. As you get to add to cart button it is explicitly explained how much you'd have to pay if you wanted to buy full-size bottles only to get a taste and how many tasters you'll receive and what their volume is.

Please contact us at hello@flaviar.com and we will be happy to resolve any further issues you might have with our service.

Exploring the Spirit Realm

By Anthony Shook, NC, Verified Reviewer

Flaviar has opened my taste buds to a wider variety of spirits, some that I'd never heard of before. The member prices are better than the state-run ABC stores (often those places don't carry the wonders that Flaviar has for you). All-in-all, really glad to be a member and highly recommend them.

Buying spirits that new and different from home and having it made easy fro you.

By Patrick Geiger, Buffalo, NY, Verified Reviewer

I purchased a bottle of Koval bourbon from Flaviar after reading their review on it. The review was spot on and the Koval was even better than I was expecting it to be.

Flaviar sent several e-mails to me confirming my order and giving me updates as to when it would ship, and when it would arrive. It actually got here several days before they estimated that it would.

Lastly, they asked me to rate their service and how I felt about the experience as a whole. Their approach was more what you would expect if someone had bought a $600 bottle of scotch rather than a 50 dollar bottle of bourbon.

I'm looking forward to a long and enjoyable membership with Flaviar.

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

Ardbeg Corryvreckan

By Stephen Blacke, Ozark, Missouri, Verified Reviewer

My son was in Phoenix a couple of weeks ago and went to a Cigar Bar there and tried the Ardbeg for the first time and called me to tell me. So I ordered a bottle and was quite pleased.

Flavia goes Japanese

By Roger, Ascot, UK, Verified Reviewer

I usually hate review like this but I have bought an excellent Japanese whiskey about 5 months ago which, by the way, is excellent. Recently I purchased a Japanese gin which is also more than promising.

I trust Flaviar with their recommendations and frankly their pricing. So far the ordering process has been exemplary.

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

LOVE our Subscription. Gin, Rum, Scotch & Whiskey.

By Laura, Arizona, Verified Reviewer

My husband and I love our Flaviar subscription. They actually have a LOT more than just whiskey, so don't let that comment above fool you. We have had all sorts of options, and you can also opt out of a box if you don't like the curated box of the month and choose another spirit, or to apply your membership to a bottle instead. The options are wonderful, and I can't think of a single reason not to have fun with this great company's offerings.

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