Garnish cocktail with expressed peel and cherry by placing them on top of the cocktail before serving.Behind the CounterJoin Heather and Steven as they discuss the impact of Allocated bourbons on the distillers, independent retailers, and consumers.Allocated bourbon refers to a limited-edition or high-demand bourbon that a distillery restricts the sale of to specific retailers or distributors. This practice arose in recent years due to a surge in bourbon's popularity, exceeding production capacity for certain coveted brands and expressions. While aimed at ensuring fair distribution across stores, it can have unintended consequences for consumers. The limited availability, coupled with high demand, has unfortunately led to significant price escalation on the secondary market. This can leave genuine bourbon enthusiasts facing inflated costs and struggling to find these bottles at their original retail price.Understanding the frustration, Juno's Liquor takes a different approach. We firmly believe that everyone deserves a fair shot at enjoying exceptional bourbon without breaking the bank. That's why we reject predatory pricing practices that inflate the cost of allocated bottles.Instead, we've implemented a transparent and democratic raffle system for allocated bourbons. Every last Saturday of the month, we host an Allocation Day event, where you can enter a raffle for a chance to purchase these sought-after bottles at a price close to the Suggested Retail Price (SRP). This system ensures everyone has a fair opportunity to win these coveted bourbons and experience them without the burden of exorbitant markups.So, come join us for our next Allocation Day and raise a glass to enjoying great bourbon at a fair price!Whether you're a seasoned bourbon drinker or just starting your whiskey journey, this interview is a must-watch!Subscribe for more in-depth spirit explorations!About Juno's LiquorJuno's Liquor Store has been serving the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex since October 2014.

    Whether you're a seasoned rum connoisseur or a curious newcomer, this video is your perfect guide to Brinley Gold Shipwreck Rum. So, grab your favorite mug, buckle up, and get ready for a swashbucklin' good time!

    Meet the Makers

    Phillip Madden, Central Region Manager for Opici Wines and Spirits, joins us to tell us the tale of sunken ships, sea turtles, and the Brinley family’s passion for premium rum.

    The Brinley family's connection to St. Kitts goes back to 1984. In 2002, Bob Brinley, the chairman of Brinley Gold Rum, along with his son Zach, decided to start a rum company. Their goal was to create the smoothest flavored rum available.

    They launched their first product, Brinley Gold Vanilla Rum, in 2004 and opened a small shop on the cruise port. Over the years, they've expanded their offerings to include Coffee, Mango, and Coconut Rum. Their most recent addition is Shipwreck Spiced Rum.

    The spiced rum recipe is a tribute to a British troop ship that sank off the coast of St. Kitts in 1782. Brinley Gold's success can be partly attributed to Opici, a well-known distributor, picking up their brand in 2005. More importantly, every case of Brinley Gold sold supports the St. Kitts Sea Turtle Monitoring Network.


    Shake, Stir, Sip

    Meet the Makers

    Jermaine Davis is a Business Development manager for Hotaling and Co, importers of Nikka Whisky. With over ten years in the spirits industry, Jermaine has represented some of the top brands in the world. We're honored to have him tell the story of how Masataka Taketsuru created Nikka Whisky.

    Nikka's story is intrinsically linked to Masataka Taketsuru, the revered "Father of Japanese Whisky." Inspired by his Scottish education in whisky-making, Taketsuru returned to Japan in the 1920s brimming with knowledge and a resolute vision. His unwavering dedication led to the establishment of Nikka Whisky, aiming to create a spirit that rivaled the best Scotch whiskies.

    At the core of Nikka's philosophy lies an unwavering commitment to craftsmanship and tradition. Every step, from meticulously selecting the finest ingredients (grains and the purest water sources of Hokkaido) to the meticulous blending and aging process, is undertaken with unwavering precision and passion. Nikka's approach masterfully blends time-tested Scottish methods with renowned Japanese meticulousness, resulting in a truly unique expression that bridges the gap between East and West.
