Excellence

By James A., California, Verified Reviewer

I have never been so surprised and happily informed on the world of fine whisky.

The selections and distillery histories are invaluable information for the spirits connoisseur. I have explored whiskies that I never would have even thought about or considered for purchase.

Pure excellence.

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

Scotches I have enjoyed

By Jeffrey K., Happy Valley, OR, Verified Reviewer

Of the single malt scotches and blends that I have had the luxury to experience, I have most enjoyed the "more full-body varieties".

Examples would be Macallan 12 Sherry Cask, Talisker Storm 10, Aberlour 12, Glenrothes, to name a few.

Having said this, I do enjoy "lighter" single malts.

Trying to enjoy them and not compare them. A wonderful reason to join Flaviar!

Thanks.

Overall club experience

By Fred N., Oro Valley, AZ, Verified Reviewer

Customer service has been great! The selection and Flavor Spiral definitely helps me explore new brands and types of spirits. The ability to explore so many brands can be overwhelming, but the suggestions of bottles every quarter help me narrow my selection.

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

Great

By Nicholas G., The Netherlands, Verified Reviewer

What a great service...If you don't like whiskey, you haven't had the right one yet. Flaviar helps you with it...and the feedback which I gave is taken very seriously...I love it. The only error that I could find was with the delivery guy from DHL who was very rude with my precious bottle. Flaviar couldn't even help it, but they still made me satisfied by giving a refund for a new undamaged bottle. Great service Flaviar.

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

I absolutely love them! I never know there were so many varieties and variations. They have truly opened my eyes and educated me on a few things. I am saddened I must leave. But I intend on returning some day.

Quality

By Charles D., New Hampshire, Verified Reviewer

Rapid reply and well-written to my inquiry about a delayed shipment. Clearly the current operating environment presents challenges, but customer service was responsive and kind. Thank you.

I’m a fan

By Christopher B., Turnersville, NJ, Verified Reviewer

Membership was purchased for me as a Christmas gift. Much better than the socks or underwear I usually get. Have enjoyed the tasting boxes and purchased a great bottle of Garrison Bros with my credit. Had an issue with delivery but customer service was prompt and attentive to my issues.

If you’re a whiskey fan, I highly recommend.

Cheers.

Tasty and fun!

By Susan W., Inverness, FL, Verified Reviewer

My sister purchased club memberships for my brother-in-law and me for Christmas (she knows us well). It has been fun and enlightening! In my first taster, there was one of the three I did not care for...but how perfect to know when you only have a small amount! This second order has just arrived and we will do a tasting together!

I also screwed up my order (best to order before you have a dram) but the service was excellent, quick, and kind.

So all in all this is a fun way to learn about my pallet and the offerings that exist!

Great value and superb taste

By Josephine T., United Kingdom, Verified Reviewer

Both my husband and I have bought from Flaviar. Myself a Brandy and my Husband a Whisky, he is in a Whisky club where members meet once a month and try new Whiskies. The club did not believe France produced Whisky so he took Le Pertuis, comment was superb, myself I have Louis Royar, so silky and smooth, ordered another 2 bottles. Have ordered the Whisky, Brandy and Gin for my daughter to taste, fantastic value.

Exactly what I was looking for

By Michael L., Brooklyn, NY, Verified Reviewer

Was really craving a way to taste and experience new whiskies without buying a whole brand new big bottle. I wanted a sample, to see if it liked it before I go and buy more of it. Flaviar is exactly that, each quarter you get a sample tester of three 50 ml bottles of your picking of whiskey. They have a variety of 3 packs to pick from, bourbons, scotches, ryes, Japanese whisky, etc. Even other spirits, rum, gin and such. I do the quarter payments, $95 and you get one 3 50 ml tastings and a bottle of whiskey from a specific selection (of 8ish bottles to choose from). The other months you get free shipping to buy more bottles or tastings. I do wish you had the option to get 2 sets of tastings instead of 1 set and 1 full bottle. Or even another plan like one 3 set tasting a month. I would sign up for that, 12 tastings a year would be awesome.

The tastings are awesome, they give you a coaster and a bunch of flavor spirals to read about the spirits you are drinking.

Pros: Great way to get new tastings. Quick shipping (for me at least - about a week), good customer service, a lot of ways to learn about the spirits you are drinking, and constant flow of new stuff (merch, the vault - high-end drinks, new tastings). And you get to read reviews on the spirits before you buy.

Cons: You (at least I) feel like you want/deserve more. You pay $95 (or $300+ for the yearly) get your 1 quarterly tasting (three 50 ml) and bottle and then it feels like that's its. You have to wait another two months until you get another tasting. You can buy more tastings/bottles using the one free shipping they give you but it feels like its missing something. Wish there was just a little bit more.

I am a fan, and can't wait until my next tasting. Hopefully, they have a monthly subscription in the works for more tastings! Maybe a $50 monthly subscription that gets you three 50 ml tastings a month (from a 4-5 selection to choose)? With the option to skip a month (kind of like Bespoke Post but for spirits).

Would definitely recommend to someone who likes/enjoys drinking as a hobby (knowing where the stuff is made and respects the field) or is getting into it.

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