I’ve been wanting to try new whiskeys and didn’t want to commit to an entire bottle each time. Flaviar offers a really fun experience. We made it a whole evening of trying the different whiskeys, matching each bottle with the description. Just so much fun!
Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I bought this for my dad! Seeing how excited each time he gets his tastings, well worth the price! We also love the school and the free shipping doesn’t hurt! The descriptions allow him to know what flavors he wants to buy for the bottles, but the tastings allow him to try new flavor profiles and not invest in a large bottle he may not like.
Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

If anyone is considering signing up for a subscription with Flaviar, be warned. I purchased a 6-month subscription for $120 on 6/13, for Loren for Father’s Day, and his “welcome box” didn’t arrive for 21 days on 7/3. And one of the bottles had leaked in transport.
I asked for a refund, and their policy is you can only cancel your membership within the first 3 days!? How would I even have known by that point we would have a reason to want to cancel? We have been terribly disappointed since the beginning. I would advise against doing business with them. And all he was going to get as best we can tell is two of these “tasting boxes” in his 6-month membership to the tune of $120. Do you know how much liquor I can buy with $120?! They’re all “fluff” and very little substance. How about pay less for marketing materials and more money towards actually delivering a product and some customer service?
Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

We understand if your needs and wishes differ from what we offer and I’m terribly sorry that the gift didn’t work out. However, there are numerous other benefits save for the tasting boxes.

I was not pleased with this company. The items I received were not based on the profile I submitted. Taste sample items were not clearly labeled, making it hard to tell what you were about to drink. First two tastings of three in my sample were of liquors I absolutely detest drinking. Prices are higher than my local store. Plus when I contacted them to request a refund after receiving the above tasting box was told no refund would be granted. No prorated refunds are allowed as they only have a 3-day grace period. Really hard to determine if you like a service when you get nothing in the first three days. I would not recommend this to anyone!

Hey Joe,
Thank you for sharing your concerns. Constructive feedback is always appreciated and helps us improve further. We send out the Welcome Box without your input to help you guys ease into the club, to prevent feeling overwhelmed by the novelty of the club’s various aspects, but you are able to pick all tasting boxes after the initial one.
Prices can vary dramatically by region, product, distributor, demand, old stock, and time of year. Nevertheless, we work with retailers across the country and do our best to source great products at the best possible prices
The cancellation policy holds true, and we’d love to look at your case again, but we are unable to find any conversations using the information we have on you from HighYa. Kindly write to us at hello@flaviar.com again we’d love to take a second look.

I gave a Flaviar membership (and an unusual bottle of Flor Cana 18-year old rum) to my husband for Father's Day and we have very much enjoyed the samplings together! "Learning" has never been so much fun! I should have thought of this before.

This is a great, exclusive whiskey club. I am proud to be a member. Flaviar has a lot to offer. If you are an enthusiast or just beginning your whiskey journey, Flaviar is the place to be. Private labels, trips, contest, and a lot of good people to work with. If an opening is available in your area, take it!

Flaviar has a great selection of spirits! Their prices are very good also. I enjoyed the ability to engrave a bottle for a friend, and he was very thankful for it! The website is easy to scroll through, and the reviews are helpful. Flaviar is FUN.

I bought this for my husband for Father's Day ("wink wink"). We are both enjoying it so much and can't wait for the next tasting box. The experience on the website and with the Flaviar team has been top notch. I love the attention to detail every product has from the labels to the boxing. And the coasters are a nice touch.

This order was liqueur that I couldn't find in my area. I ordered four bottles of Tequila that I was unable to locate in my local stores. All 4 had reviews of 9 or higher from Flaviar members that I trust for reviews.

After receiving the beautifully packaged starter package, I knew I was dealing with a great company. I've already ordered four times and have been treated to great quality service and product each time. This is a company that has overcome the giant obstacle of retail alcohol shipment and is doing their best to deliver a great experience to members. I recommend Flaviar for both beginners and seasoned drinkers.

I ordered a bottle of Jameson Caskmates, and I got it quickly. Do this!! It is worth it. I think if you are new to the whiskey game, their suggestions are amazing and spot on. Worth every penny to join.
