Inspired by the 1920’s Harlem renaissance and established in 2020, Harlem Standard revives old techniques to distill and blend soulful spirits for the modern palate. Smooth and refined, crafted spirits become a symbol of uncompromising principles and multicultural interests with inspiration from jazz, the Harlem Renaissance, and a new generation of connoisseurs. We co-founded and invested at the seed round to at the forefront of this game-changing concept, from barreling, bottling, and branding, to create the first Harlem-centric whiskey and spirits brand. As the brand’s creative director, our vision is to one day open a distillery in Harlem for all to celebrate and enjoy.
