Even if you’re not familiar with Micky Finn’s as a local, you can tell that by your first visit to any of the stores’ locations that Micky Finn’s isn’t your average liquor store. From its massive liquor collection, Barrel Pick Programs, Rewards Club, and party services to its adjacent large Beer and wine selection, Micky Finn’s is by far the leader in the Pee Dee area when it comes to the liquor business.

But the local industry leader isn’t content with stopping at large inventories, Barrel Picks, or new products, however. The store is continuing to expand its horizons by introducing Micky Finn’s’ own private label products such as Jacks & Dillon vodka, Noelia’s Coquito, and Wild Atlantic Irish Whiskey.

New products are the norm at Micky Finn’s, and store labels are not the only new items to appear on its shelves. Many of the new products are brought in by the staff at Micky Finn’s through inside knowledge of the industry and many products are brought in by customers themselves.

The latest new product to appear on Micky Finn’s shelves, however, is something extra special. Building on its vast (and expanding) barrel pick program as well as its reputation for housing harder to find items, Micky Finn’s has recently acquired a Barrel Pick line of Blanton’s Gold.

A “levelled-up” version of the original product, a Barrel Pick line of Blanton’s Gold is a even more rare line of an already rare line of Bourbon.

As the Buffalo Trace website states,

The world’s first single barrel bourbon was created in 1984 by Elmer T. Lee. Named after former distillery president Colonel Albert B. Blanton. Elmer recalled how Colonel Blanton would sometimes handpick a ‘honey barrel’ from the center of Warehouse H to enjoy with others. Many years later, the Blanton’s brand was created. Today, Blanton’s Single Barrel has become one of the most revered and award-winning bourbons on the market. The Gold Edition was the second version created, after the Original 93 proof. This 103 proof Blanton’s Gold is very limited, but a favorite among discerning bourbon aficionados.

As with any Barrel Pick item, each product is privately tasted and selected, ensuring the best of the best from each distiller and a unique taste that can only be found at Micky Finn’s.

In addition to the new items, Micky Finn's is currently offering a 10% discount on the purchase of two or more Barrel Picks and 15% off on the purchase of three or more Barrel Picks.

If you’re looking for bourbon (particularly rare bourbons, allocated items, and barrel picks), Micky Finn’s has always been the number one stop in the Pee Dee and Florence area and the store shows no signs of slowing down.
