Online Bourbon Buying Experience

Recommended Posts

Sharing my experience with a couple of online sources:

 

Flaviar:

 

It's been a horrible experience thus far. So far, I've placed 2 orders, both failed. One was lost in shipping and the other cancelled. In both cases my funds were tied up for weeks. I'll give them one more shot, but as a retired umpire, I live by the motto, 3 strikes and you're out.

 

Don's Liquors:

 

Really great experience thus far. I ordered two bottles from them on a Tuesday, they arrived on a Saturday. One bottle was a $200 bottle of Sweetens Cove, the other a $100 bottle of Barrel. Both bottles shipped for $115 with a 10% coupon. Just awesome.

 

Frootbat:

 

Reviews were mixed on them, but I have given them two orders, both arrived and the prices were more than fair. Bought a couple of bottles of hard to find Weller from them. The orders came in within a week as well.

 

Anyone have experience with Nestor Liquor? Wooden Cork? Blackwells? Liquor Brothers?

Blackwells service is very good.

Multiple purchases over a few years, zero issues.

Seelbach's is great.  Their focus is on craft distilleries and ndps.  Astor in NYC is good but their shipping can be pricy.

Always had good luck with Twin Oaks Wine & Spirits.  Back when it was harder to get Buffalo Trace around my area, I could always find it there, including store picks.

I love KL. I've started buying wines from them (I think that market is getting depressed as well) and a whiskey here & again. Their SP's tend to be good.

I'm pretty sure I don't, but several of these sites don't seem to care.
