Mississippi-made
Mississippi-made at T.J.'s Fine Wine and Liquor in Brandon, Mississippi: what it is, how to choose it, and the brands on our shelf.
Made here, sold here. Mississippi has a small but real run of distillers, and we keep what we can get on the shelf in Brandon rather than letting it hide behind the national names.
How to choose
Why we keep it. Because a bottle made ninety minutes up the road is worth pointing at, and because people visiting the state ask for something from it. Local producers get shelf space here on purpose, not as a novelty rack.
Where to start. Mississippi distillers work mostly in vodka, gin, whiskey and liqueurs. A state-made vodka does everything you would ask of a national one, and the flavoured expressions go straight into a bloody mary.
As a gift. A spirit made in the state is a gift with an address on it, which is hard to beat for someone moving away or visiting from out of state.
What about the rest? Mississippi's distilling scene is growing and this page will grow with it. If you make something in this state and you want it on a shelf in Brandon, come see us and bring a bottle.
