This review is based on their single malt whisky selection.
Apart from the usual single malts, of which they have the name brands like Macallen, Glenlivet, etc. They had an Indian brand, Amrut which is unusual. I haven't tried it, but it's good to know that West End Wine & Spirits carries it.
I spoke to one of the staff about Japanese whisky and he said that he was on the waitlist to carry one of Suntory's brands (not Yamazki). He didn't remember the name, but by my estimation it'll be either Hibiki or Hakushu which are the other major brands for Suntory. If they get one of those two, I'll def be back to snag a bottle.
Pricing is a little on the high end here, so even if they're close by, I'd still go to Beacon to get the common scottish whiskys since their prices are a good $5 cheaper.
I hope they continue to stock up on more single malts, but as of now their selection is somewhat limited and generic.
I've only been here once, but I plan to start making this my go-to wine shop.
The store is clean, bright, well organized, and easy to navigate. It's a very small space but you don't feel that when standing inside. The workers are super nice and friendly — when I picked out my wine, one of them said to me, "You look like you know a lot about wine!" (Maybe he says that to everyone, but it sure made my chest puff out a bit.)
