Proper & Ernest is a favorite local liquor store known for its amazing selection and exemplary customer service. It offers a great mix of products, including more difficult to find and rare items that chain stores won't have. The environment is really cool and the ownership is great. The staff are super helpful, knowledgeable, and provide excellent recommendations with sheer knowledge. They offer tasting options and will special order something if they don't have it in store. Prices are fair and on par with other sellers, leaning more into better quality than cheap stuff, but with decent lower shelf options. It is more than just a store; it’s a haven that provides a warm, positive experience. Highly recommended for all things alcohol.
Fantastic selection especially hard to source bourbons and scotches. Deep liqueur options and beer on tap for growlers. Cigars too!

Although we don't live anywhere close to proper and Earnest we always make it a point to stop in if we're even remotely nearby because we always find some great items that are not normally on the other stores shelves.

Simply my favorite liquor store in the entirety of PNW. The owner has an exceptional pallet and his picks reflect nothing but that. I've spent more than a grand here and will spend a lot more. Cheers guys
