We honestly can't say enough about this store and how helpful the owner is. We would give six stars if we could!

Happy to support this new but growing Super Store! This store, along with the Waterbury location,…read moreare by far one of my favorite places to shop for beer, wine or any drink of choice. Sure, they have a HUGE selection of wines, beers (cold), and pretty much anything your heart desires. But what continues to set them apart is the awesome folks that own and operate the place. Everyone is knowledgeable, helpful, and goes above and beyond to help you get whatever you need. As a local small business owner I too appreciate the hard work, pride and great service this family-owned business provides. Like other liquor stores, they host wine/liquor tastings, so make sure you follow them online to read about the new events. I especially love how they support local varieties, be sure to ask about their local liquors and beers. If they don't have your favorite beer, ask, they'll do their best to get it! For example, this is the same business that helped my (Texan) friend get his favorite beer while temporarily working in the state. After expressing interest in his favorite beverage (Shiner Brock) they made sure to get him a few cases and started stacking them. He drives 40 minutes from Stratford, CT to get his favorite home state brew. This is the type of service that helps separate this business from others. The store parking is plentiful, location is easy to access, the place is well lit, clean, and the different types of liquor are easily identified. There's a huge section for wines, sorted by countries of origin, styles, etc. (I'm not a wine snob so I just ask them for help as I get educated on the different types), the liquor is separated by types - bourbons, whiskeys, rums, etc., and the beer is near the back, next to the huge walk-in fridges. If you stop by, let them know Angel from WoodyThings sent you =)

Bantam Country Liquors is a wonderful little shop about 20 minutes north of our home in New…read moreMilford. My wife and I stopped by on a whim because I have taken a recent interest in whiskey and bourbon. I also tend to avoid huge box stores typically staffed by people with little knowledge of the products and incentivized to push certain brands over others. This is not a large store by any stretch. The aisles can be a little tight but this coziness is countered by an excellent, curated selection, knowledgeable and approachable staff, and very reasonable pricing. Like I said, I'm late to the brown liquor party. I'm 53 and never had a taste for bourbon or whiskey but I figure there had to be something to it. So, imagine my relief when I entered this store and met one of the owners, Paul. Sporting a shorn head with an impressive grey beard, Paul looked more like a wizard than a booze salesman. But get him going about brown liquor and the wizard comes out. He enthused about all different types of bourbons, focusing on offerings that would neither offend, nor kill, a newbie like me. He even offered up a sample for me to try, just to get an idea of what my palate was all about. He went through the shelves enthusiastically, pulling out bottles, commenting on their depths of flavor, their mash bills, barrel types, who's local and which ones are mass-produced. It was a lot of information but it was good information. This sort of crash course was exactly what I needed. Rather than committing to a single 750 ml bottle that I may not like and would probably take over a year for me to drink, I went with a set of samples from Litchfield Distillery -- a small operation located just a few miles up 202. We couldn't be happier that we found Bantam Country Liquors. They are now my go-to store for not only liquor but they have very high quality wine and beer as well. And from a relative teetotaler like me, that's a rave. Anyone who has a keen interest in wine, beer, or, in particular, liquor should stop by and say hi. Definitely worth the trip.

We stopped going after the guy kept charging us $1-3 above the shelf price. Unfortunately, we…read moredidn't realize the overcharges until we got home and looked at the receipt. The last time I called him out on the spot. He charged $13.50 for a $10.99 bottle of Saki. When I told him the shelf price was $10.99, he silently rung it up again. When I asked him why he had originally rung it up as $13.50, he mumbled, "price increase" without looking me in the eye. If you go to this place, pay close attention. He banks on people not paying attention.

Convenient location, if you're going to Stop and Shop and someone much lazier than yourself (but…read morewho is definitely over 21!) texts you to ask if you could pick up a bottle of Disaronno. Prices seems standard for the region, a lot of selection and they were really pushing to get their Christmas 2018 stock moving on. They also seemed to card everyone, which is fantastic! All liquor stores should do that - a little ego boost if you think it's just you, and you don't have to worry about them getting caught in anything untoward.

The shop has a surprisingly large stash of nice wines -- we didn't examine them in detail, saving that for our next visit -- and spirits that include products from Litchfield Distillery as well as some uncommon bottles of bourbon and gin that some larger shops in larger cities don't seem to stock. We were impressed. The shop also carries a number of distinctive cheeses, although when we were there it was a few weeks before "cheese season" gets underway. The space is very clean and attractive, and the owner offered welcome good advice about purchases. Bottom line: We liked very much what we saw but will have to return later to be able to offer a more detailed review.
