In June, 2024, Micky Finn’s announced that it was upping its game with an intensified commitment to bringing rare and highly sought-after items to all three of its locations. It’s now November, and it’s undeniably clear that the store is living up to its commitment.

While Barrel Pick items were always a part of the store’s offerings, shelves quickly ballooned with the new products after the store announced its new program. In fact, an entirely new section was installed in the Cashua location just to contain Micky Finn’s Barrel Picks.

As with any Barrel Pick item, each product is privately tasted and selected, ensuring the best of the best from each distiller and a unique taste that can only be found at Micky Finn’s.

While the store's Barrel Pick items are all currently available with more products on the way, the store will be highlighting a few of the products each month as well as running specials and discounts. For instance, Micky Finn's is currently offering a 10% discount on the purchase of two or more Barrel Picks.

If you’re looking for bourbon (particularly rare bourbons, allocated items, and barrel picks), Micky Finn’s has always been the number one stop in the Pee Dee and Florence area.

Below are just a few of the products the store is highlighting for the month of November:
