Dad's Hat

By Dennis J. Holm, Nebraska, Verified Reviewer

It is very good (kind of a sweet hardy wood finish), and I like it. I would recommend it, and I would never have tried it if it wasn't for Flaviar.

Thank you Flaviar.

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

terrible idea waste of money

By Matt Souerwine, Atlanta, GA, Verified Reviewer

You get three 1.5oz bottles of whiskey for your $60 subscription. That is all you get. "Access" to more sampling and deals are not good deals. The bottles are tiny and very, very fragile. Two of my three samples broke before I got to try them. The bottom of the bottles fell right out. Just go to a bar and try some whiskeys, a much more cost effective way to go.

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

Dear Matt,

I'm terribly sorry to hear about the damaged package. I truly hope you've turned to our concierge service at hello@flaviar.com. If not, please do, and we'll make sure to send you a replacement box asap!

The membership fee covers much more than the samples we sent you. Please contact us at the above email address, and we will be happy to explain the membership and the benefits in full! We'll be happy to help you reevaluate and better understand your membership.

The best of the best is Flaviar

By Ingemar Stengård Johansson, Niemisel, Sweden, Verified Reviewer

Besides the amazing taste, I like the great service I received from Flaviar. And they have quick delivery to the customer, even though I live far up north in Sweden, where the Northern Lights play in the sky and the temperature during the winter drop below minus 40 degrees.

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

Finding favorites

By Steven Barr, Elyria, Ohio, Verified Reviewer

I have been a member of Flaviar for a few years now, and the best part of the club is finding new favorite whiskeys. I have a few "staples" that are almost always on my shelf and offered by the club, but it is great to find another fantastic bottle to add to the bar. It wouldn't happen without the club, and the prices are comparable to buying anywhere else for me.

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

Can't go wrong with Flaviar!

By Stu Dalziel, Kansas, Verified Reviewer

This is such a fantastic idea, and the spirits are unique enough that I have not found them locally. The reviews and ratings are what lead me to buy, and I have never been let down. I love this club!

Phenomenal product

By James Decker, Saint Helen's, OR, Verified Reviewer

I have adored the ability to taste the various products in the Tasting Boxes, but the real draw to me is the school that Flaviar offers. It takes you through the how and why of each area of the various alcohols, and I love it. Well worth the price for not only product opportunity, but for a chance to understand why I love the product.

I actually had the chance to show off to my niece and nephew. I bought a bottle of Koval whiskey and combined with an Asiatic and the Star Spangled tasting boxes I put on a taste test that went over very well. They shared my enthusiasm as we smelled, sipped and talked about whiskey, whisky, bourbon and scotch for hours. Yes, there is a difference between whiskey and whisky, you are taught all about it in the school.

Worth ever penny spent, I have enjoyed the experience immensely.

Recommended for newbies and connoisseurs in the world of liquor

By Miha, Ljubljana, Slovenia, Verified Reviewer

A friend recommended I join Flaviar, because of my love for expanding horizons in the world of fine drinks and dining. I tried it and fell in love. The monthly fee pays off by the competitive prices, a vast amount of fun facts that satisfy curiosity. You don't only get to enjoy the drink, but also to appreciate it, knowing how much work, effort, ideas, knowledge, and luck is incorporated in the drink, sitting on your table.

Out of all the member benefits (and there are quite a few), I particularly like the sample boxes, which offer a glimpse into the variety of the world of liquor. This way it's easy for someone to get an idea of what they like or don't like at an affordable price. They also make a nice gift and come with ideas of how to make them into a fun tasting experience with your friends. If you're willing to share, that is.

If you're already on the more knowledgeable side, you might find the offer enticing, particularly because of limited editions and exclusive offers. In this way you can look at the monthly fee as buying the privilege to skip the line to the best products out there.

Try it and see for yourself.

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