Good Scotch.

By Alan, Rochester, NY, Verified Reviewer

When in Scotland I went to the Dalmore Distillery for a tour and tasting. I was able to try the Cigar Enthusiast Scotch which I really liked. I tried to buy it at the Duty Free shop in Glasgow, but the plane was running ahead of schedule, so I didn't get it. I was very happy to see that it was offered at Flaviar, basically for the same price I would have paid at the Duty Free!

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

Great Idea. Bad Service.

By Joseph , CO

They won't just ship the package after you buy a gift. They make the receiver of your gift build another profile. Giving them another possible customer but inconveniencing and angering the original customer. No call in service support. Email can be as long as 48 hours to get back to you. They will not fix the problem but will give you instructions on how you can fix it. It's sad that such a great idea is being executed so poorly.

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

Company Response from Flaviar Ltd.

Jan 26, 2016

Dear Joseph,

Thank you for your comments on our Gifting feature.

Flaviar Gift mechanics are well-explained on the website under the FAQ section. Gift recipient is required to make his own account because:

(1) It's easier and more convenient for the recipient to enter his own preferred shipping address than to demand from the buyer to do it;

(2) It makes for a great business gift (shipping address is an unknown);

(3) The Gift of Flaviar Membership is highly customizable (the recipient needs to have his own account to manage and customize it);

(4) The only way for us to communicate with customers is through emails (we inform the recipient of incoming Tasting Boxes and other Membership benefits he's entitled to).

Let me assure you that customer experience comes first for us and that we're constantly optimizing our products (Gifts included) to better suit the needs and wishes of our customers. As things stand now all communication with our customers runs through emails. We do our best to respond within 24 hours and the majority of our responses to you was made well within this time.

You wanted us to simply ship the first Tasting Box – I hope you now understand why this was hard for us to do. There are of course ways of bypassing this hurdle, but they come with disadvantages to the recipient (the gift experience is severely diminished). I hope I've managed to address the majority of your complaints, but please, if you'd like to discuss this further or need further help, don't hesitate to contact us at hello@flaviar.com — we'll be most happy to assist you further.

Went down a treat!

By Karen Buck , West Midlands

I purchased the Whisky tasting package for a friend who fancies himself quite the connoisseur. The present, as did the whiskey went down a treat. He tried three that were unknown to him, thoroughly enjoyed them, and is a convert.

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