Our Story
Rooted in Abu Dhabi, bringing flavours from every corner of the world to yours.
Over three decades of selection, trust, and community.
High Spirits was founded in 1988 with a singular purpose: to bring the finest range of beers, wines, and spirits to the consumers of Abu Dhabi and Al Ain. What began as a single, passionate local venture has grown into the UAE's largest and most trusted premium liquor retailer, operating 12 stores, two dedicated bars, and a fully integrated e-commerce and home delivery platform. We are proud to be the exclusive distributer, fulfilling the beverage needs of the most prestigious Abu Dhabi and Al Ain hotels, Ritz Carlton, Park Hyatt, Radisson Blu, Le Meridien, Sheraton.
A Flagship Worth the Trip
Our flagship Ghantoot location spans over 8,000 sq. ft, stocking more than 5,000 SKUs and exclusive fine wine collections. It has become a destination for Dubai residents too, just 20 minutes from Dubai Marina, with pricing significantly more competitive than other retail outlets in the city. The location is also home to the Ghantoot Racing & Polo Club Restaurant, extending the High Spirits experience beyond retail.
