This partnership celebrates the glamour, adventure, and sophistication of the golden age of air travel, reimagined for the modern experiential traveler. Together, Flaviar and Carry On invite guests to rediscover the joy of exploration through taste, storytelling, and craftsmanship for one-night-only on November 6th.
“Flaviar has always been about the thrill of tasting something new, the stories the spirits tell, and the people you taste with,” said Flaviar Co-Founder Grisa Soba. “With this year’s Whiskey Advent Calendar, we wanted to transport our fans back to the golden age of air-travelback to the golden age of air-travel – the excitement, the luxury, and the romance, when flying was an adventure, not a chore. The unbelievable, immersive world Carry On has designed around that same era made them the perfect FlaviAIR co-pilot.”
Carry On, created by Phoenix-based hospitality group Pretty Decent Concepts, known for transforming guest experiences into journeys through time and place, has been recognized by North America’s 50 Best Bars, the 2025 James Beard Awards, the 2025 Hospitality Design Awards, Tales of the Cocktail’s Spirited Awards (named one of the Top 10 New U.S. Bars), and USA Today’s Top 29 Bars in the Country. On this one-night-only partnership, visitors step aboard a meticulously recreated 1970s jumbo jet cabin, where each cocktail is inspired by iconic destinations around the world including spirits from seven different countries – such as the U.S., Japan, Scotland, Ireland, Finland, China, and France.
Flaviar and Carry On will host an exclusive flight-inspired evening in Phoenix on Thursday, November 6th, 2025, offering “passengers” a first-class ticket to this season’s most anticipated spirits experience. The experience includes sampling selections from the FlaviAIR calendar, paired with Carry On’s world-class cocktails and an immersive atmosphere that brings the glamour of midcentury travel back to life.
“Carry On was built to rekindle the golden age of travel through story, world class cocktails, and immersive design,” said Teddy Myers, Founder of Pretty Decent Concepts. “Partnering with Flaviar allows us to extend that journey beyond our bar, inspiring people to explore the world through spirits and imagination.” Flaviar and Carry On are celebrating their partnership with the VIP Voyage Sweepstakes, offering one lucky winner and a guest the chance to fly to Phoenix for an exclusive tasting experience at Carry On, complete with a one-night hotel stay. In addition, the two brands have joined forces to craft bespoke cocktails available exclusively at Carry On, designed to showcase the global whiskey selections featured in the FlaviAIR Advent Calendar.
