If anyone has been on the fence about joining the Flaviar website here is a chance to earn $50.00 store credit for you and me for signing up with this link. I was a bit skeptical when I first joined then I saw how often things get added to the bottle list and started enjoying it. I live in an ABC controlled state so my selection can really stink compared to what I can get locally. Sometimes the prices can be a bit askew but if you are patient they will straighten out. The scotch selection is very nice compared to what I can find in stores here. If you have any questions please feel free to ask and I will do my best to answer them.

We can't get liquor shipped to us in our state except by our own state controlled liquor distributor. I used to get stuff shipped to my office in NYC, but since I'm not there that often, it's too risky. The last time somebody sent me a $300 bottle of Scotch (Balvenie 21) as a gift, somebody walked in and lifted it off the receptionists desk.
When you consider the cost per ounce of the products you buy, and the numerous times what you want isn't available, and the prolonged shipping time, Flaviar isn't all that great of a deal.
raven, I didn’t think we could get hard liquor shipped to NC because of the ABC monopoly. I once tried to get a nice scotch from Sherry-Lehman in NY and it wouldn’t let me.
BobmcgahanDewesq55Loren Yes we can in NC. Despite the state saying that no liquor can be shipped to any resident from outside the state there are ways around it. As a shipper you have to have a special license with the state to allow it to be shipped in. I have never had an issue with Flaviar shipping bottles in to me.
Bkhuna The site is not for everyone since it will greatly vary by state with selection and pricing but for those like me in an state run liquor business the site is great since I now have access to bottles that my state will simply not bother to stock. Yes some of the bottles can be expensive compared to what you can purchase in certain states but there are some that are cheaper. Right now I can purchase Buffalo Trace for $24.99 a 1/5. In NC when it is in stores the price is $28.95. One of the biggest cost associated to getting bottles brought in is the shipping which at Flaviar gets you a free shipping credit each month. I understand it is not for everyone however it could be of benefit to some. Not everyone has the same access to bottles that you do or at the same price.
If anyone wants to know if they have a certain bottle in stock and what the price is for me at least(I think the price varies a little bit by state sometimes) please let me know and I will look it up for you.
