If you love drinking spirits, then you probably have a list of your favorite brands. If you love experimenting and trying out names other than the big guys out there, then here are a few ways to find them.
Do a bit of research
Look for a micro distillery in your area. You could stumble upon one easily enough when you go online. That’s one way to expand your list of sources for go-to spirits when you’re in the mood for a good drink or if your supplies are running low.
Ask around
If you have friends or family who love spirits as much as you do, then ask them for advice. They could point you to a micro distillery nearby. They could also help you steer clear of bad ones or introduce you to excellent options. That’s going to make for a pleasant drinking adventure.
Check them out
Don’t be afraid to try out lesser-known brands with tags like artisan or craft labels. They could make for a pleasant surprise. Pay attention to the blends and keep note of the ones that appeal to you. The next time you try to broaden your tastes, you’ll be well aware of what flavors to skip and which ones you wouldn’t want to miss out on.
