I placed an opening order and then got an email about some great sale of samplers. I opened that up and discovered that there was a bunch of stuff marked as sold out. Then when you actually picked something and then went to the checkout, it gave you an option to continue shopping. But if you do not pick anything there is no way to get back to the checkout.
They make this out to be all about great whiskeys and the opportunity to try a lot of rare whiskeys. It is a sale trap and scam designed to squeeze every penny out of you.
Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Company Response from Flaviar Ltd.
Hey Ray,
I'm so sorry to hear other members beat you to your favorite picks, but you have to understand that in the "vault," a special section of our shop which is opened for a few days per month only. The samples and bottles are rare and very limited so that we can offer only a few at a time.
We understand that our first-come, first serve policy might be frustrating at times, but this way no one gets an unfair advantage. We like it because it's egalitarian, but we are currently working on further improvements to the model.
We're working hard to provide bigger vault editions in the future, so you'll have even more chance to get your hands on drinks you like the most. A small hint for future, vault releases is only there to help you plan. The vault opens its gates around the same day each month. Hope this helps with planning.
