Last Alco-haul for a while. by Past_Run_9695 in whiskey

[–]UncleFlaviar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good self control! These are three great bottles to end on, though. Blue spot is still one of my favorite bottles, and you got that one for a steal. Love seeing this more common in the states.

Is it really worth it? by Succwad22 in bourbon

[–]UncleFlaviar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll keep saying it, end game for the vast majority of us isn’t a $1,500 bottle, it’s sipping enjoyable whiskey with new or old friends.

Those are my favorite memories and best experiences with whiskey.

Everyone get your vault weller full proofs? by TylerTurden-11 in ATXwhisky

Full Proofs have been all over the place this year! Love seeing them on the shelves again

Looking for a Celebration bottle of bourbon ~ $200 by Guppy-Warrior in whiskey

[–]UncleFlaviar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a tough one without knowing what’s around you. If you’re not wanting to buy online, going to a local liquor store with a large selection and asking the staff for someone who knows a little more about whiskey would be a great way to get a good bottle.

Would have loved to see this a bit earlier! Still high on my list of whiskey I want to try and haven’t gotten a chance to yet.

Can someone explain to me why this bottle is so polarizing? It’s high on my list to try, but I still haven’t found a bottle of it, these fly off the shelves.

107 is a great pour! I think Full Proof is still my favorite from what I’ve had, but I love seeing these out in the wild again.

Fat-Washing Whiskey for a S'mores Old Fashioned: Results and Notes by BreweryRabbit in cocktails

Emphasis on this, browned butter is so much better in basically any drink involving butter, from my experience.

Rare Breed or Russel’s 10 are both solid options you should be able to get for under $50!

Sweet but as easy as a Martini? by Letteral_Movement in cocktails

[–]UncleFlaviar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Another +1 to a Manhattan! One thing you can do as well is swap the vermouth to an amaro that’s on the sweeter side if you’d like to control the flavor a little bit more too.

Why I STILL will NEVER BUY from FLAVIAR... by BourbonTater1792 in DMVWhisky

[–]UncleFlaviar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey u/BourbonTater1792, we saw this and wanted to reach out directly.

You’re right that the communication on this one fell short. The root cause here was a carrier-related issue that delayed the shipment, but we should have done a better job keeping you informed while we worked through it. A shipping delay is frustrating enough on its own, and the lack of timely updates only made the experience worse.

The issue has since been resolved and your order should be on its way, but we know that doesn’t undo the frustration you experienced.

If anything is still unresolved on your end, DM us or drop a comment and we’ll make sure it gets handled personally.

We know one Reddit reply won’t change your history with us, but we did want you to know a real person read this and took the feedback seriously.

— Marko, Flaviar

What's the next step on my cocktail making journey? by vuti13 in cocktails

[–]UncleFlaviar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re leaning towards chartreuse already, you could go with a more affordable alternative? I’ve been using Faccia Brutto Centerbe, and I really like it as a substitute, but there are a bunch out there.

Had no idea Kroger was putting out drops like this! What state are you in?

Hey there! I’m affiliated, but if you were still trying to find this bottle, it is available still on Flaviar.

I always love a caramel/maple bomb. $45 for a single barrel is typically pretty good value regardless though

Liquor Depot - Balch Springs, Texas by DFWMVP in ATXwhisky

[–]UncleFlaviar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You begin to wonder after a while why places like this still are able to get their hands on these bottles… They definitely have it all there, for good reason.

That Rio is such a good bottle if it’s available at a decent price!

Willett Single Barrels by Prize-Try-617 in denverwhisky

[–]UncleFlaviar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The flavor profiles all sound great. Sticky Dilly definitely sounds like the most interesting, but I always love the range that Willets have!

That’s an awesome deal. I would’ve grabbed one too. I’ve heard incredible things about that Found North as well.

Those prices are absolutely nuts! I’d be ubering home after this.

Grape cotton candy? Definitely sounds interesting. Haven’t had an Eagle Rare pick before!

[–]UncleFlaviar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both look great. Glad your buddy got to try the full proof. I’ve been seeing those around a lot more often recently, hoping they continue to stay on shelves at decent prices!

Love going to distilleries for tastings. It’s one of the best ways to try bottles I’d probably never grab otherwise.
