What's not to love? Rum, rye whiskey, plenty of ginger and a bit of bitters add up to an amazing mouthful of flavors.
I've taken a flask to three holiday parties (so far) and it has come home empty each time.

I’m so glad I joined your club! Great information, great selection, and great mobile app. I’m learning so much about alcohol (bourbons and whiskeys). This is a perfect way to learn about alcohol, thanks so much for the experience!

Before Christmas I decided to buy two memberships as gifts. The total for both memberships was $600. I chose to take advantage of a free tasting special of an additional 12 samples. The company did not send me the gift cards, when I reached out to customer service they chose not to respond. I decided to act like a new customer who had a question and they responded in 5 minutes. I then attempted to see if we could correct the issue, no response. In fact, they claimed I never made an order so I sent them the credit card charge. Then no response. Only when I disputed the charge did they try to make right, which I was still open to. Three days later, no response.
I highly recommend avoiding this company.

The club has wonderful tasting boxes with various hard-to-get bottles (e.g. Chichibu limited editions, Yamazaki 18, Hibiki 17, etc) which allows enthusiasts to get a taste of these magic elixir. I also love the Flaviar-only limited bottles (e.g. Deer Bear Moose - Linkwood 27 years; Son of a Peat series) - magic for our taste buds.

I bought this for my husband. First, he was like socks, really?! But as I told him to read the label he laughed and followed instructions. He loved it soo much, he loves the fact that he can try new types of liquors. He loves to be adventurous but doesn't like to do it on his own dime, smh lol, so this gave him a chance to try something new as a gift on my dime. We can't wait to taste what he ordered in his welcome box, something to look forward to - something different and new.

I appreciate the ability to get small tasting portions of many different flavors and types from outside my normal availability. It makes for a very enjoyable experience to have small amounts to try, but still be able to order full bottles of the flavors that I like best and want to share with others.

I was looking for the Game of Thrones Baratheon whiskey to complete my collection. I came across the website Flaviar. I am so glad I did. I joined their membership for free, got free shipping on my first order and a free gift. I also received my package protected very well and quickly.

I recently received my first Flaviar order. I received the tasting box with copious notes. My order also came with a 750 full bottle of bourbon that I picked from several choices. From ordering to delivery I have no complaints just praise. I have received several followup emails from them making sure I am satisfied. Also, the website is FULL of information!

My nephew sent me an advertisement for this website. I was intrigued by what they had so I joined up. I was so surprised by all the things available and specials that they had. The prices are as good or better than what I can purchase things for but the selection just blew my mind. I love ordering whiskeys from this site as that is my drink of choice. I also love the samples you can get before you commit to buying a full bottle.
Thank you so much Flaviar!

Flaviar failed to ship three packages to me. Three packages in a row. Two of which were my quarterly shipments and I at this point have only been a member for two quarters.
I asked for a refund (for the six months that I would not be using) and they said no.
Flaviar is a massive rip off. They'll happily take your money and provide Comcast level customer service. Well, actually, it's worse than that.
DO NOT DO IT.

Hi Tyler,
We sincerely apologize for the level of service you received. The feedback you have provided is one of the only ways we can improve.
We’re well equipped to handle occurring issues tied to the industry we are in, without our members ever noticing a disruption in the quality of service. Recently, though, we’ve experienced several issues at the same time, which has made resolving them in a timely manner much more difficult. This led to some shipping delays, longer transit times or tracking issues. We're terribly sorry you were among the affected!
We have sent a message to your inbox addressing your concerns and offering redress.

Never wanted to join, waited and waited, finally did, and now love it, well worth the cost for what you get. As long as the price stays close I will continue to be a member.
