HEAVENLY SPIRITS
F R OM F R A N C E W I T H LOV E
REPRESENTING THE FINE ART OF FRENCH DISTILL ATION
We import over one hundred exceptional spirits
products directly from France, representing a wide
range of family–owned craft distilleries. We also
distribute our products to almost forty states, including
Massachusetts, where we serve as our own distributor
for the Commonwealth.
Our award–winning portfolio of spirits includes a
wide range of sought–after French classics, including:
Armagnac, Cognac, Calvados, Single Malt Whiskies,
Pastis, Absinthe, Rhum, Vodka, Liqueurs, Gins, Vermouths,
RTD Cocktails, Non-Alcoholic Spirits, and Apéritifs. Our
products have received high praise from the likes of The
New York Times, the BTI, Wine Enthusiast Magazine,
David Wondrich, Bartender Spirits Awards, The Ultimate
Spirits Challenge, the San Francisco Spirit Competition
and spirit guru Paul Pacult of the Spirit Journal.
Since starting our import business in 2008, we have
become the leading importer of Armagnac in the USA,
accounting for over 40% of all Armagnac sold here.
Our goal is to provide our distributors and their
customers the very best artisanal spirits France has to
offer. The name “Heavenly Spirits,” refers to what is
known as “the angel’s share,” which is that portion of
the distillation that is lost to evaporation while being
aged in oak barrels. The word “heavenly” is also derived
from the French word “paradis” which often refers to the
oldest aging cellar of the distiller.
For us, the name represents years of focused research
and passion for the art of French distillation. The results
of our work are an exquisite collection of exceptional
French spirits that are indeed “heavenly” in both quality
and taste, assembled for your unique enjoyment and
pleasure. We believe in the adage: “Quality over
quantity.” Always drink responsibly!
Welcome to
Heavenly Spirits!

Small production of only 25,000 bottles per year
Dedicated following through 5 generations
A rare and unique blend of grape varieties
The Normandin Mercier family has been buying freshly distilled Cognacs from
the same 2 growers in Grande Champagne and Petite Champagne since
1872. The grapes used are mostly Ugni Blanc and a little Colombard and Folle
Blanche, a very rare occurrence in Cognac. The proximity of the ocean, the
natural regulation of hygrometry and oceanic temperature all favor the aging of
the cognacs, giving them fullness, elegance, and a unique character.
