Micky Finn's Staff Picks July, 2025

posted by Brandon Turbeville on Jul 6, 2025

Every day, Micky Finn’s’ employees are asked their opinions on the quality, taste, and utility of the thousands of products the store houses on its shelves. From liquor and beer to wine and mixers, Micky Finn’s staff are asked about their favorites and how they would rank various products in comparison to others.

Of course, everyone’s preferences are different and recommendations are often subjective when discussing taste and flavor. Many times, a simple question about the best tasting tequila, the smoothest bourbon, and the best price point value will differ based on who is answering.

Micky Finn’s, however, is getting ahead of the game when it comes to recommendations with its Staff Pick section.
With thousands of products on the shelves, Micky Finn’s new Staff Picks section is a great opportunity for customers to see what staff members are drinking themselves.

One need only take a look at the Staff Picks for July to see a unique assortment of products:

Tullamore D.E.W.

Tullamore D.E.W. is the original triple blend Irish whiskey known the world over for its smooth and gentle complexity. Our whiskey, made in Ireland, is the perfect balance of both fruit and spice. A blend of three spirits, you won’t find another whiskey like Tullamore D.E.W.
. . . . . 
Three spirits blend together to give a balance of flavour like no other. Grain whiskey gives sweet flavours. Malt whiskey gives fruit flavours. And pot still whiskey gives spice flavours.
. . . . . 
The complex yet approachable flavours in the whiskey are derived from - three types of grain, triple distillation and the blend of all three Irish whiskeys.
. . . . . 
Triple cask-matured for depth and balance. Over a period of several years, Tullamore D.E.W. Original is aged in traditional refill barrels, ex-bourbon barrels and ex-sherry butts.  -- Tullamore website

Smirnoff Red, White & Berry

Meet the crowd pleaser, Smirnoff Red, White & Berry. Exclusive to the US, this spirit is infused with cherry, citrus and blue raspberry flavors adding three something-specials to your chosen cocktail.  -- Smirnoff website

Codigo Reposado 

The pure agave flavors of Blanco tequila meet the elegant complexity that comes from our distinct resting processes in Código 1530 Reposado. Rested six months in French White Oak Napa Valley Cabernet wine barrels, our Reposado has the brightness of ripe agave and the warm undertones of whiskey.
. . . . . 

Código 1530 Reposado derives its bright, natural sweetness from Blue Weber agave that’s harvested at peak ripeness. The Reposado is then carefully rested for six months in French White Oak Napa Valley Cabernet wine barrels. The resting process fosters some of the warm, smoky undertones often found in whiskey, like vanilla, oak, and caramel.
Complex, delightful flavors make the Código 1530 Reposado a flexible spirit. Savor neat or in the indulgent cocktail of your choice.
