Finally the first run of spirit is here for Amanti Vino. Bruichladich, Springbank, Benriach, Hirsch, Old Pogue, Old Potrero, Germain - Robin XO( Cali Cognac)
Amanti Vino will be kicking our whisky/bourbon section off this weekend with the arrivals of Bruichladich, Springbank and BenRiach, for single malt. Along with Hirsch, Old Pogue and Old Potrero in the bourbons. Obviously this is a just a nick on the surface, not even a scratch.
Finally back from Spirit City. the Winebow Craft Distillers Show. As expected there were your stand-outs: Germain-Robin, Plantation Rum/ Poli Grappa/ The fine folks at St. George - Hangar 1/ and without a doubt SpringBank and Bruichladich. But a lot of great previously untried items as well, such as Crispin's Rose Liquor/ Old Pogue Kentucky Bourbon.
This is Jason, the new Spirits buyer for Amanti Vino; www.amantivino.com, on 30 Church Street in Montclair NJ. Historically our store has been one of Northern Jersey's premier wine retailers. Recently we have expanded to house an ever growing selection of small batch/ artisonal brews and are going to be doing the same for our spirits department over the coming months. As this is a new venture for Amanti I wanted to introduce myself to the community at large and offer up a chance to allow the industry to make suggestions. Looking forward to hearing from everyone.
