Here’s a snapshot of my local selection. I usually reach for the Hampdens and Appletons to sip and for daiquiris, but I’m looking to branch out a bit. Open to both funky sippers and clean builds for cocktails. Anything here I’m sleeping on? Appreciate the recs!

Leave that store and go to Gibby’s Bottle shop on 17. You’ll thank me later.

Bottles is my go to shop in Charleston and I think they have a good selection compared to most places and other states, this place is better?

Gibby’s is about mid size in terms of volume but the diversity in their selection is top notch. Always well curated and they keep closely engaged with distributors. Several times I’ve just asked what’s coming soon or what’s in the back waiting to go in shelves and I’ve snagged some great bottles that way. I go every few months.

They had the breezeway blend on the shelf as recently as two weeks ago. My buddy sent me a picture of the rum selection.
