Sav-Mor Spirits

Great little liquor store with some nice items on its shelves. This is my favorite kind of liquor store - one of those places where you can find some amazing libations whilst perusing the bargain items. Case in point, Garnish Island Gin, the best gin I have ever had, handcrafted, pot still, botanicals infused in such a way that their essential oils end up in the final product (you can see the fine strands of essential oil when you sip over ice), delicate herbal and floral flavors, $22. I discovered the Royal Jamaican Blackstrap Rum here, a fantastic rum whose natural sweetness only requires a bit of fresh lime juice and perhaps a dash of Angostura Bitters (no simple needed) to make an awesome dark daquiri (and makes drinking healthy, with the nutritional content of blackstrap molasses :) ), $15. I've lived near this store for a year and a half (and shopped at the Trader Joe's nearby even longer) so I've come away from this store with a number of great, new-to-me bottles in the ~$20 range.nnAnd if you want to spring for the higher shelf items, they got you covered. On my last trip I saw Monkey 47 and St. George among the usual offerings. I was focused on gin this time, but I recall it being the same for the other spirits as well. This, along with the unusual and rewarding bargain items makes me think those responsible for buying here have an interest in craft spirits and trying things out. They have a great beer selection as well. I have not checked out their wine yet, but it does take up half the store. It's a narrow storefront, but their shelving system accommodates as much as a store twice the size.

Splendid place I visit often all of the employees are pleasure to converse with except one fellow name Dane is a bit ignorant but otherwise I love this store

Always awesome customer service, great prices and an extensive selection. Next time I am in Boston, they will literally be my first stop!!! Need I say more!

Shopped here for a company party: very hospitable staff, and there might be some boxes due for recycling around that you can use to carry bulk orders out!

Great staff as well as prices ! Right outside of Alewife Station in Fresh Pond Parkway
