Atlanta, GA (1888PressRelease) July 31, 2012 - There's a new reason for cheers: High Liquors has officially launched in Atlanta, Georgia. As the world's first full line of ultra premium spirits, including vodka, rum, whiskey and tequila, the exciting new brand is poised to elevate the drinking experience in a city Forbes named in its top 10 cities for young professionals. Atlanta's VIPs will toast its arrival at the official High Liquors Launch Party on Thursday, August 16 at a special reception from 7-9PM at Rose Bar, located at 3115 Piedmont Road. Guests will be served specialty High cocktails along with light bites created by the recent winner of Food Network's "Chopped" Chef, Joe Rego of eventflavor. The party will then open to the public at 9PM.

Co-founder and former Atlantan Chris Lawson and his best friend and new Atlanta resident, Brad Wright developed the concept to fill the niche for a full premium liquor product line under one brand. Each spirit is crafted in small batches at a different, specialized distillery in locations ranging from Indiana to Trinidad.

Lawson and Wright knew Atlanta was a great launching pad into the mainstream. They softly introduced the brand in select cities in Kentucky, Tennessee and Michigan. But they've saved their biggest bang - and official launch party - for Atlanta, one of the largest and most bar-and restaurant-centric hubs in the Southeast, and a city where the median age is 33. "I knew Atlanta was our next logical step," says Lawson. "I lived in Atlanta for 4 years and loved the energy, the venues, and the people. I know this market is ready for our product and will appreciate the quality of the spirits!"

With more than 5.7 million people, Atlanta is a mecca for thriving businesses, young professionals, celebrities, the arts and nightlife. Wright and Lawson recognize that Atlanta is also diverse, so a varied demographic can enjoy their premium products. The owners of High Liquors also hold the city and its philanthropic ventures top of mind, having participated in a variety of charity events including gloATL and the Chauncey Davis Foundation. According to Wright, "We want to promote and support Atlanta and help it thrive, which is one of the reasons I moved here and chose it as our official launch city."

Having partnered with Atlanta-based Empire Distributors, High Liquors is now available in some of Atlanta's most popular destinations including STK, The Havana Club, Opera Nightclub, and in over 40 beverage retailers in Georgia including Green's Beverage Stores and Tower Beer, Wine & Spirits.
