Flaviar Whiskey Academy
Read real reviews from whiskey lovers who've joined the Academy.
Flaviar’s Class 1 was a genuinely fun little whiskey rabbit hole — and it landed in my life as a gift, which made the experience feel even better… once I could actually access it.
That said, the onboarding was rough. The system didn’t recognize that the class had been gifted to me, and when I reached out to the AI help desk, I got politely spun in circles — like a sailor on a foggy sea, forever promised land, never shown a shore. I bounced between automated answers, links that led nowhere, and friendly-but-hollow reassurance. In the end, the problem was only solved because the gift giver had to step in and go through Flaviar directly. That part? Clunky. Human escalation shouldn’t require a rescue mission.
Once I finally got in, though… the class itself was a blast. Clear, well-paced, surprisingly educational, and perfect for anyone who enjoys learning why whiskey tastes the way it does — not just nodding wisely at a glass. My only tiny, laughing-into-my-dram moment of feedback:
maybe don’t make the correct answer the first option so often.
I started to feel like I was speed-running a multiple-choice boss fight with a lucky A-button.
Great content.
Great gift.
Needs a smoother front door — and maybe a little more mischief in the quiz design. 🥃
The class is a really amazing idea. I really enjoyed trying multiple different whiskeys with all the notes and background information. The little quiz was fun to make sure I was really understanding what was going on. I hope to continue to do more of these classes with more tasting and more opportunities to try things I might never try.
Enjoyed it. Good review of information that I had worked out on by own. Looking forward to the release of Lesson 2.
Absolutely no leaning in this academy. Your paying way too much for much too little. When their website works, that is. When it doesn't function, your paying way too much for NOTHING AT ALL! what a waste of time energy and money
All I wanted was the correct items that I ordered and paid for, to be delivered undamaged. Unfortunately, they are unable to do that. After a month of trying to get it resolved, now they no longer have the products I ordered.
Just know that if you order something from Flaviar, once they have your money, you’re likely to get the wrong, damaged items and they don’t care. They’ll ship you anything and then try and work it out with you later. Complete BS.
