A Tasting Spiritorium in Naples (Liberty Plaza)

We believe the customer is always right in matters of taste. So taste everything.

A tasting spiritorium in Naples, where you sample before you commit. Any bottle on the floor, $4 per taste. Come in curious, leave with a bottle you already love.

The Idea

We think you should taste it before you take it home.

Most bottle shops sell you a spirit on faith and a nice label. We do it the other way around. Pull up to the counter, tell us what you like, and sample up to six before you choose.

We are shopkeepers and enthusiasts, not authorities. Our job is to steer you toward the rare and lesser-known bottles you would never have reached for on your own, so you end up with a forever favorite instead of a bottle that sits in the cabinet half-finished.

The customer, after all, is always right in matters of taste.

Why People Keep Coming Back

Come for the selection. Stay for the people who know it.

Taste First

Sample up to six before you buy. Find something you love, skip the ones you don't.

A Wide, Curious Selection

Whiskey, bourbon, tequila, rum, and a deep bench of rare and lesser-known brands worth discovering.

Guides, Not Gatekeepers

We are enthusiasts who love this stuff and love talking about it. No pretense, no lecture, just help finding what you will actually enjoy.

How the Tasting Works

Try it before you take it home.

This is not a bar and it is not a free sample counter. It is a straightforward way to find out what you actually like before you commit to a bottle.

$4

Any bottle on the floor

Anything priced at $250 or less at retail is out on the floor and covered by that $4 per taste. Point at what you want to try, we pour it.

$5 to $20

The premium bottles

Bottles above $250 are kept separately and priced individually for tasting, typically $5 to $20 depending on the bottle. Ask us what is open.

10 mL

A real taste, not a shooter

Each pour is 10 mL, about a third of an ounce, served in a one ounce glass. Take your time with it. That is the whole point.

Give Yourself Some Time

Customers routinely walk in expecting a ten-minute stop and end up staying closer to forty-five, reading bottle stories and talking with whoever is working. No rush. This is a place worth giving yourself an hour for.

Planning an Event

Wedding, reunion, retirement party, holiday gathering. You need one spirit to fill a role and you do not want to buy ten similar bottles trying to guess. Come in, taste across the options, leave with the one that works.

A small number of bottles are not available for tasting: a few very limited, high-dollar releases, and the wine selection.

On the Shelf Now

Three we are excited about right now.

Not a top three and not a ranking. Just what we have been pouring for people lately, and what we would pour for you.

Leopold Bros Three Chamber Rye at Barrel and Flask in Naples, Florida

Leopold Bros Three Chamber Rye

A revival of a distilling method that had been gone for a century. Only so many were made and we bought most of what was left.

Old Soul Straight Bourbon at Barrel and Flask in Naples, Florida

Old Soul Straight Bourbon

The kind of bottle that does not get advertised and does not need to. Taste it next to something twice the price and see what you think.

Del Maguey Vida mezcal at Barrel and Flask in Naples, Florida

Del Maguey Vida Mezcal

Cooked in a pit over hot rocks, which is where the smoke comes from. A good first mezcal if you have never had one on its own.

Every one of these is four dollars to taste.

Found some forever favorites.

Loved the place, came in on opening day and found some forever favorites that I would have never tried otherwise. Customer service was excellent, they had very well informed staff.

A very enjoyable experience.

Super wide selection and has a lot of unknown brands. The staff has really good knowledge on the liquor in stock so if you have questions, do ask them. Of course, they do let you try the liquor here so you don't get something you won't like out of the bottle. It's been a very enjoyable experience here.

Left with fantastic rums for the party.

Stopped in before heading to a beach party and needed a few drinks. The staff made it incredibly easy to find exactly what I was looking for. Being able to sample up to six different options before buying was a huge plus. Greg, Will, and Chris were all super friendly, knowledgeable, and gave some awesome recommendations. I ended up leaving with some fantastic rums for the party. Great selection, excellent customer service, and I'll definitely be back!

Vintage newspaper front page reading Prohibition Ends At Last, December 5, 1933

A Little Character

We celebrate Repeal Day. Every December 5th.

On December 5th, 1933, Prohibition ended at last and America got its bars, its distilleries, and its good evenings back. We think that is worth a toast. It is also a decent summary of how we see this whole trade: spirits are meant to be shared, talked about, and genuinely enjoyed, not locked behind a counter and sold on a slogan. Come in, ask questions, taste something you have never heard of. That is the point of the place.
