Flaviar Whiskey Academy - Class 1

This is a fantastic idea, unfortunately the execution and systems are lacking. So many issues with codes and membership and getting the shipments correct. Once that is out of the way, the lessons are outstanding and informative. Unfortunately Lesson 1 only includes 3 samples and the following level includes 5, a much more appropriate number given the cost and concept.

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.

Awesome- loved it
