NASSAU, BAHAMAS- Jimmy’s Wines & Spirits is preparing to host its first annual Beer, Wine & Spirits Trade Show on Thursday, May 15, 2025, at Sapodilla Estate in New Providence. The event, which began last year, to welcome new wines to the portfolio, has expanded to its full portfolio of offerings for industry professionals as well as a chance for the general public to come out and enjoy a ‘Taste’ of the showcase.
The Trade Show, which is invitation only, will run from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. for Jimmy’s on-trade and off-trade business clients, with the public Taste! event starting at 6 p.m. to 9 p.m., which is a ticketed grand tasting.
“Our Trade Show is designed with our valued on-trade and off-trade partners in mind,” said Gary Sands, General Manager at Jimmy’s Wines & Spirits. “It’s a focused opportunity to explore new products and learn directly from international brand experts who will also attend the event.”
Attendees of the Trade Show can expect to interact with international brand representatives, as well as explore more than 100 beer, wine, and spirit offerings from global suppliers. Sampling stations, printed tasting guides, and product showcases will help guests navigate the event and learn about top-selling items and trends in the beverage industry.
“We want this event to be valuable for every attendee,” Sands said. “Whether you’re sourcing for a small bar, Liquor store, or hotel, our goal is to connect you with the right products and people.”
New products being introduced at the event include Buffalo Trace Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, featured in a custom cocktail called the Buffalo Soldier. The drink blends bourbon with pineapple juice and Gosling’s ginger beer.
“This cocktail really brings out the warmth and character of Buffalo Trace in a tropical-forward format that Bahamian palates will love,” said Windira Brooks, Brand Manager at Jimmy’s Wines & Spirits. “We’re also excited to present a new offering—Edinburgh Gin—served up in a crisp and refreshing signature cocktail we know will make waves at the show.”
With the anticipated success of the day-time Trade Show, a public tasting event was included in the evening so that Jimmy’s Wines & Spirits retail customers could discover the full portfolio as well. “We want to celebrate our vast selection of premium beers, wines, and spirits, alongside our incredible industry partners,” explained Sands. “Taste! Gives everyone an opportunity to sip, savour, and explore- whether you’re a connoisseur, collector, or just someone looking for a fun evening out!”
Guests can expect to receive a tasting guide and a glass upon entry for sampling, as well as special welcome gifts from Jimmy’s Wines & Spirits and chances to take away branded merchandise. “Guests will be spoilt for choice by the amount of cocktails, bubbles, beers, fine wines and sipping spirits, accompanied by gourmet bites. Of course, it will all be in the elegant splendor of the Sapodilla Estate.”
Tickets for Taste! are $75.00 and can be purchased at Jimmy’s Wines & Spirits retail locations in Nassau, including East Bay Street, Cable Beach, Carmichael Road, Airport Industrial Park, and Lyford Cay. Electronic tickets to attend are also available online by visiting: www.TicketBox.com
