In honor of Black History Month, Victor George Spirits plan to release two new products in February 2022:
- Pullman Porters 1867 – A six-year aged rye whiskey named after former slaves that became the highest-paid Black people of the 1860s.
- Fort Mose’ – A bourbon named after the first city in America (outside of St Augustine, Florida) where Black people could live free.Â
If this isn’t sweet enough, in November 2021, Victor Harvey’s development company Northeast 6th Development, was approved to construct a 15,000 square foot facility by the Fort Lauderdale Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) board. Providing a hefty $2,450,000 to help fund construction costs, the facility will include a distillery, restaurant, cigar bar, whiskey lounge, co-working space, and a rooftop bar/lounge located on historic Sistrunk Boulevard in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. We are here for it!
