Fort Mose 1738 Bourbon

Every Great Bourbon, Has A Great Story..

In 1726, thirty-eight African born slaves would escape from the Carolinas, head south and seek refuge amongst the Spanish just two miles north of St. Augustine, Florida. Known for being skilled workers and farmers, these brave men and women also fought alongside the Spanish and their Indian allies against their former masters. In 1738, the governor would declare Fort Mosé the first free Black town in the United States. Fort Mosé 1738 Bourbon Whiskey was created by African American spirits maker Victor G. Harvey Sr. and is bottled at his very own Palm Beach Distillery that has recently relocated to Fort Lauderdale, FL. 

"When I first got into the industry in 2007 there were very few, if any, Black people with their own brands. I knew I didn't just want to put a name on something as a private label, but wanted to create, make and bottle our own products.

Our goal is to be the largest Black-Owned spirits company in the world. To make history, and be part of American history which is why we choose the names we do for our brands."
