Best thing to do!

By Brian Gary Kittredge, Dexter, NM, Verified Reviewer

Love the taste boxes, they give you a better idea of what you can purchase. Shipping is awesome! They contained the detailed explanations of the different products. There are so many choices that you can not find in the local liquor stores.

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

Great for novices

By Patrick Akins, Hillsboro, OR, Verified Reviewer

Being a person that doesn't know good spirits, I was hesitant about joining. First, I should say that I'm not a person that drinks regularly. I tend to have one drink a month, if that. My liquor cabinet, small as it may be, held many common brands.

Whatever hesitations I had were quickly squashed once my sample box arrived. My wife and I compared the smell of a bottle we had on hand to one of those from the sample box. The smell alone was mind-blowing. The common brand that you see on TV all the time didn't smell anything like what our sample box contained. I am learning more about spirits through every sip from my samples, and I look forward to more different sample boxes and ordering my first bottle in the near future!

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

Fun times and good whiskey

By Jesse Hennessey, Connecticut, Verified Reviewer

I signed up myself and a friend as a Christmas gift last year. Getting a tasting box delivered every three months has been a lot of fun. We line all of them up and judge them like criminals in Mega-City One. Then we pick a winner, and it's usually me.

We also decide which sample we liked best and order up a bottle for the end of year winner's circle.

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

Wonderful source of new tastes.

By Trygve Teigen, Richmond, VA, Verified Reviewer

Being a resident of the Commonwealth of Virginia has some advantages. However, variety and competition in the liquor industry are not one. The state runs and controls the liquor stores and controls the prices. So if they don't decide to stock it, you must not need it.

I, on the other hand, have traveled the world and appreciate small, rare and different in everything, but especially liquor. Flaviar has bottles that will never be for sale in Virginia, and I appreciate that, and their prices are great too.

Thanks again.

Over priced

By Shay Weir, Georgia, Verified Reviewer

Although I enjoyed the quarterly samples, I did not like the pricing for it. $60 a quarter for the membership and you only get one free sampler of three small bottles. That works out to $20 a tiny sample. VERY expensive! There is no free sample every month like this summary states above. Quarterly is all I find.

They suggested a dark rum, Kraken. Very good tasting. Local store price was less than $18. Flaviar is $30. Again, the concept is good, but the actual pricing is high.

I've been a member for a year, but am going to cancel to save money to buy MORE of the ones I really like.

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

Great club for spirits aficionados

By Jason Stolberg, Washington, Verified Reviewer

I've really enjoyed my Flaviar membership so far! For me, it isn't really about the tasting boxes but rather the great selection of whiskeys available for purchase. Where I'm located, many of the bottle selections on Flaviar are either very hard to find, or very expensive. The once a month free shipping makes the price savings well worth the membership cost.

Great gift

By Billie McMahan, Albany, OR, Verified Reviewer

I bought this as a gift for my husband. He has enjoyed his first tasting box so much, I purchased one of the full bottles for him. He's looking forward to September's tasting box. This is something I highly recommend to any whisky connoisseur!

Glowing!

By Valerie Haskins, San Mateo, CA, Verified Reviewer

I had an amazing customer service. There was a small hiccup but it was resolved and it was worth the wait for the product! It came with a bunch of information and great packaging.

I've already referred it to my boss!

Overall experience

By John Mason, Spokane, WA, Verified Reviewer

I work for a national spirit retailer and have enjoyed being able to try many different scotch, rum, and whiskey via the sampler set they provide. The cost to me is a deal and have been able to try many wonderful spirits without having to buy the 750ml to do so. The tasting note inserts and a big help and you get a free coaster with each shipment of the sampler.

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

Great supplier

By Marc Ostinato, Louisiana, Verified Reviewer

Not only did they have Talisker 10-year, which I have not been able to find in my area, but their site introduced me to so many more whiskeys. I may have to take out a second mortgage! LOL.

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