Micky Finn's Adds New South Carolina Product To Its Shelves - Bottoms Up Vodka

posted by Brandon Turbeville on Jun 1, 2025

Even if you’re not familiar with Micky Finn’s as a local, you can tell that by your first visit to any of the stores’ locations that Micky Finn’s isn’t your average liquor store. From its massive liquor collection, Barrel Pick Programs, Rewards Club, and party services to its adjacent large Beer and wine selection, Micky Finn’s is by far the leader in the Pee Dee area when it comes to the liquor business.

But the local industry leader isn’t content to stop at large inventories, Barrel Picks, or new products. The store is continuing to expand its horizons by introducing Micky Finn’s’ own private label products such as Jacks & Dillon vodka, Noelia’s Coquito, and Wild Atlantic Irish Whiskey.

Having revolutionized the liquor industry in South Carolina several times over, Micky Finn’s is now leading the state in introducing products made right here in South Carolina to its shelves.

One such new product is Bottoms Up Vodka, one of only a handful of vodkas made in South Carolina and now available on the shelves at Micky Finn’s.

Bottoms Up Vodka is not just unique in that it is a South Carolina product but also in its story. As the Bottoms Up website states, 

Three friends in South Carolina were inspired by the TV program "Moonshiners" to craft a unique spirit that captured the essence of the community. Encouraged by their friends and family, that hobby became a passion. Throughout the years, they met with and learned from experienced distillers and other experts to guide them on their journey.

As their skills and capabilities grew, a sellable and legal spirit of high quality materialized. Next, a name and logo were created to embody their Southern Heritage while evoking a playful night of lasting memories. Bottoms Up Distillery vodka emerged as their premier offering. This handcrafted, small-batch spirit is 10 times distilled from local Carolina corn and offers a delightful flavor. We think you will remember our bottle and love the taste.

At Bottoms Up Distillery, we believe every bottle tells a story of friendship, passion, and a deep-rooted connection to the local community. Our distillers take great pride in carefully crafted spirits that meet the highest quality standard while bringing joy to every occasion. Each sip invites a journey of discovery and delight, making each night one you'll never forget. We use high-quality ingredients and a thoughtful process to ensure each batch of our vodka maintains the same smooth texture. Whether you're enjoying it on the rocks or enhancing your favorite cocktail, we're here to bring taste to the table.

But more important than the story of inspiration, however, is the product itself. Bottoms Up writes,

At the heart of our vodka's smoothness lies the 10x distillation process. Distilling vodka ten times might seem extensive, but this very commitment ensures our spirit's distinctive clarity and refinement. Each distillation pass removes impurities, resulting in an exceptionally smooth and clean taste that sets our vodka apart from others. For vodka lovers, this level of smoothness transforms a simple sip into a luxurious experience.

While other mass-produced vodkas rely on continuous column distillation, we prefer a more traditional method that allows for better control and enhances the flavor. This slow process boils the alcohol, turning it into vapor. The vapor is cooled and returned to a liquid state. Our distillation method draws out the natural flavor layers typically lost during more industrial techniques to maintain consistent flavor complexity in every bottle.

Our vodka is made with high-quality, local corn from many of the area's farmers. It delivers a natural sweetness and smooth texture that appeals to various palates. As a grain-free spirit, it's ideal for individuals who have dietary restrictions but don't want to sacrifice quality or taste. Whether on the rocks or in a cocktail, you can enjoy the creamy sweetness displayed by our vodka.

Bottoms Up has one more interesting detail – it is not only a vodka, but also a clothing line boasting a collection of polos, t-shirts, performance and outerwear in keeping with the brand. You can shop Bottoms Up Apparel here.

Bottoms Up vodka is now available at Micky Finn’s.
