May was bursting with flavor at your go to Charleston liquor store- Kramerica Wine & Spirits! We kicked off the month by celebrating Cinco de Mayo with the tropical vibes of Hornitos Pineapple Tequila—a crowd favorite that brought a sweet, bold twist to your margaritas.
New to Our Shelves:
We were thrilled to welcome Anita’s Choice Bourbon from Burnt Church Distillery, inspired by the trailblazing spirit of Anita Pollitzer. This six-grain bourbon is crafted for those who dare to stand out. We also introduced Bluffton Whiskey, hand-crafted with Carolina Gold Rice and aged in charred white oak barrels. It’s a spirit that tells the story of a town known for its resilience and strength.
Tastings & Events:
We invited bourbon lovers to sip and savor Jefferson’s Bourbon at two tastings this month—first on May 9th at St. James, followed by another pour at College Park on May 23rd. Boone’s Bourbon made waves with its bold, 4-Year Single Barrel, and WhistlePig Snout to Tail 10 Year Bourbon joined our premium bourbon lineup.
Mother’s Day was extra special this year as we encouraged our customers to celebrate the amazing women in their lives with the perfect bottle—whether it be bubbly, bold reds, or smooth bourbon.
