Drinks Enthusiast was established in July 2011, bringing together spirit brands who required a strategic focus in the North of England and Wales.
Proudly having a diverse range of spirits available to all pubs, bars, restaurants and retailers, Drinks Enthusiast works with each to develop serves, events and team activations, making sure each brand has a lasting relationship.
Currently, Drinks Enthusiast works with 3 different clients, encompassing 17 different brands.
Spiribam-UK is the largest partnership, working their award-winning r(h)um and liqueur portfolio as well as representing St Lucia Distillers rum company as Brand Ambassador for the last decade.
Most recently, JBE Imports have come onboard with their range of gin, bitters and liqueurs, plus Tarsier Spirits of Manchester and their South-East Asian gin selection.
