In the middle of nowhere, this gem exists. Sure, you hear Wind Lake and just assume it must be a…read moredingy dated townie liquor store that just carries a limited selection of Keystone Light, Jägermeister, Lime-A-Rita's and corn chips. Yet somehow Aman's puts every liquor store in the 5-county Milwaukee metropolitan area to shame.
Aman's has a brand new building with ample parking outside and in side boasts wide aisles, bright lighting, and massive selection of craft beer, liquor, wine, mead, cigars, cocktail mixers and more including amazing store picks of whiskey, rye, bourbon and even cognac. The selection is so great that I regularly take the 16 mile drive to Aman's just to see what he has brought in. Plus, the pricing is solid, especially compared to some of the other "raved" liquor stores.
Those store picks? They have included Old Forester Single Barrel, Journeyman Distellery Featherbone Rye and Bourbon, Whistlepig 12 Year Rye, Jack Daniels barrel proof, Eagle Rare, Hudson Whiskey Baby Bourbon, Buffalo Trace and so much more. Aman has well trained palette and has solid picks. It's hard to walk in and not grab one (or two).
Plus, and this is a huge plus, is The Terrace. Upstairs above the coolers is what I consider the best kept secret of high ends bars. I've never seen such a great collection of bourbon, scotch, rye, Japanese whiskey, rum, cognac, and wine at such reasonable prices. Plus, there is small bust tasty cocktail menu, a great selection of tap craft beer and Aman's is the only place you will find Pip's Meadery handcrafted meads on tap besides the meadery itself. Interested in one of the store picks but looking for a taste first? Head to the Terrace for a pour and you'll be sold. I almost regret letting this secret out, but Aman deserves all the business he can get.
Aman's is kind of like my Target. I go in for just one thing and end up with a trunk full. Make the trip to Aman's, you will not be disappointed.
