About Us

Rare Collects is more than just a liquor store — it's a hidden gem in the heart of Miami, where curated craftsmanship meets timeless hospitality. Founded by tastemakers Jose and Alex, Rare Collects was born from a private passion for fine wine, ultra-aged tequila, and collectible whisky, and has grown into a destination for those who seek authenticity, exclusivity, and exceptional service.

With roots in Miami’s iconic venues like SET, Mokai, and Kiki on the River, our founders have spent decades perfecting the art of hosting and curating unforgettable experiences. Rare Collects is their next chapter — where heritage spirits are housed in a refined, modern setting and served with a story.

From highly allocated wines and rare Japanese whiskies to small-batch bourbon and collectible tequila, each item on our shelves is hand-selected not just for rarity, but for the journey it represents.

Our mission is simple: To bring world-class bottles and experiences to those who appreciate curation, craftsmanship, and discovery. Whether you’re a seasoned collector or just beginning your journey, Rare Collects is here to elevate every pour.
