On-Premise Spirits Sales Representative - Verdict Reserve Spirits

About Verdict Reserve Spirits

Verdict Reserve Spirits is a premium bourbon brand built around quality, character, and a bold American identity. We are already earning placements in high-end restaurants, lounges, steakhouses, cigar venues, and private hospitality accounts, and we are now expanding aggressively across Arizona and beyond.

We are looking for a driven, polished, relationship-based sales professional who can help us secure placement for Verdict in the right restaurants, bars, hotels, lounges, liquor stores, cigar clubs, and private venues.

This is not a desk job. This role is for someone who can walk into a restaurant, build trust with the owner or beverage director, tell the Verdict story, coordinate tastings, follow up relentlessly, and turn conversations into real placements.
