Bourbon & Bubbles: A Premier Boutique Bottle Shop in Laurens County
August 18, 2024Bourbon & Bubbles has been a cornerstone of the Laurens County community since its inception in April 2017. The store was born out of a need for a clean, welcoming, and female-friendly environment, setting itself apart from the stereotypical liquor store experience. When Paul and Adele Alducin purchased the inventory of Palmetto Beverage, they did so with a clear vision: to create a boutique bottle shop that offers a wide selection of high-quality products in a luxurious, well-merchandised space.
“Our goal was to bring something different to Laurens County—a place where everyone feels comfortable and where quality is always the priority,” says Paul Alducin. “We wanted to create an environment where people could enjoy the experience of shopping for their favorite spirits.”
From the beginning, Bourbon & Bubbles was designed to provide the residents of Laurens County with the variety and quality typically found in larger cities, all while keeping shopping local. The store’s strategic location next to a grocery store further enhances the convenience for its customers, saving them both time and money.
The store’s staff is friendly and also highly knowledgeable. Paul specializes in bourbon, tequila, and champagne; Terry has deep expertise in bourbon; Nate is the go-to guy for Scotch; Mike brings a wealth of experience from both retail and wholesale sides of the spirits industry; and Adele can guide customers through the selection of vodka, gin, and ready-to-drink beverages. This level of expertise ensures that every customer, whether a connoisseur or a casual buyer, receives top-notch service and advice.
“We’re passionate about what we do and want to make sure our customers find exactly what they’re looking for, whether it’s a rare bourbon or a new wine to try,” adds Adele Alducin. “Our team’s knowledge is one of the things that really sets us apart.”
In addition to their extensive knowledge of spirits, Bourbon & Bubbles offers a carefully curated selection of high-end and exclusive wines, which they plan to expand based on community recommendations. Recognizing that wine is a personal experience, the store takes a thoughtful approach to bringing in new products, ensuring that they meet the tastes and preferences of their clientele.
Bourbon & Bubbles is more than just a retail store; it’s a vital part of the Laurens County community. The Alducins actively give back through volunteering and product contributions to organizations. They also offer private, off-site tastings for organizations, further cementing their role as community partners.
With a commitment to brand building and marketing, the store has secured service marks from the Secretary of State, distinguishing Bourbon & Bubbles as the only Boutique Bottle Shop in South Carolina. This recognition reflects the store’s uniqueness and dedication to creating a unique and enjoyable shopping experience for its customers.
Looking ahead, Bourbon & Bubbles remains steadfast in its mission to be the cleanest, friendliest, and most knowledgeable spirit retailer in the county, serving each customer with respect and gratefulness.
At Bourbon & Bubbles, shopping for spirits is more than just a transaction—it’s an experience. The owners and staff live, work, and play in Laurens County, making them deeply invested in the community they serve. Whether you’re searching for a rare bourbon, a sparkling wine for a special occasion, or just your favorite everyday brand, Bourbon & Bubbles is the place to go for quality, selection, and exceptional service.
