My sampler was Breckenridge, Few rye and Wolfburn too. I really really like the Breckenridge! The Few rye was decent but I still like Dickel rye better. To me, the Wolfburn was a huge disappointment.

I have one of these as well. It's now $50 in store credit. I have gotten some great bourbon from this site including Willet Pot Still, Rowan's Creek, Noah's Mill, Sazerac Rye, Willet Family Reserve Rye, Blackened and EH Taylor Small Batch. The stock is updated continuously plus you can set it to email you if a bottle your are hunting shows up in inventory.

@Buck Flicks - Kirin is made by Budweiser in LA. Sapporo is brewed in Canada by Sleeman. Asahi is made in Canada by Molson.
I lived and drank beer in Japan for 11 years and I can say unequivocally that the stuff they sell in the US tastes nothing like the real deal.

since i joined to help huskee get a bottle of free whiskey, and it has been a few months, here is my take so far. takes a little time to figure out how to utilize it to your max benefit, but in a short time i have acquired enough of my favorite whiskys that are unavailable here, to last a year. i have tried brands i normally would not, with both really good and so so results. all in all, a pretty good club, just take your time and get to know how it works. sign up yall, huskee needs a free drink!

Grafx365 That's great! My wife & I love whiskey, Scotch, gin, tequila, you name it, and we've found at least 2 or 3 from each category from their tasting kits that we'd never heard of and we've never seen for sale locally that we love. It can be disappointing when something you want isn't in stock, but it's made up for when you discover something you love that you otherwise wouldn't have known about.

What's nice about it is every 3 months you pay $60 and you get a $30-35 tasting kit free, free shipping (~$15) on any sized order every month, and with my link you (and I) get a free $44 bottle. So you get over your $60 back essentially, at least for the first 3 month term, and you learn a lot if you try new things. I don't buy the tasting kits, I just get one every 3 months at renewal for free. My orders of impossible-to-find-locally bottles and free shipping make my remaining $25-30 investment (after the tasting kit) worth it. But it's not for everyone.

But yeah, they're a business and there's only so much markup they can put on spirits, since they don't stock them all themselves....so they gotsta make their money somewhere. I think the kits are steep too so I only get the ones included with my renewals. It's a personal choice whether what you get is worth it, like anything. I don't pay for cable and I laugh when others pay $120/month to watch commercials. Bkhuna

Has any one of you guys/gals who's joined and gotten the free Breckenridge bourbon had a chance to try it and want to share your thoughts on it? Curious. Everyone I know who's tried it says it's really good, maybe not $44-good, but good. Definitely free-good. A touch on the smooth side for me.
Comment

I would agree with your description. I would buy it locally if it was $30ish, but not for $44 when I can get Four Roses or Bulleit for 20-30. I like it just fine, it was really smooth. Probably the best of the samplers too, the Few was pretty good though, but the scotch smelled like kerosene to me and tasted slightly better.

Huskee - I’m interested in signing up for this but have a question, when you do sign up, can you choose only bourbon? I am not interested in scotch or Irish type whiskey, whisky or the Japanese whiskey.
Just want good ol American bourbon or American whiskey. I’ve done tastings and just don’t like the other styles. So, if I can choose the type of tastings that are sent, I’m game for signing up and getting you a bottle!

I paused my membership so I don't think my personal link will work right now (thank you for asking though!). The renewal is $300 for another year and I just can't swing it right now. Also, I tried twice to order the Sagamore rye and both times they cancelled my order because it wasn't avail to send to MI unfortunately.
-
Huskee - wow! $300 for a renewal when it’s listed at $210 to join? Hmmmm. now I’m having second thoughts. Perhaps I just spend that $210 on a few high quality bottles of something for a COVID Christmas holiday!
Thanks for the info.

You might have a deal offered to you. The price was cheaper when I signed up years ago. Then they decided to add a $45 credit every quarter ($180/yr) of free bottles, but to me that's pre-selling me bottles at their prices (which are the prices of whichever distributor they're using in your area and Flaviar has no control of that), and I don't want to do that. I'd rather it be how it was at first and I'd stay on, where you get free shipping each month and a free tasting kit each quarter & done.
