South Florida-Born, Black-Owned Spirits Brand Expands Into North & South Carolina

Victor George Spirits (VGS) the independent family-owned company behind award-winning Fort Mose Whiskey and Victor George Vodka is expanding distribution into North Carolina and South Carolina. 

Founded by industry veteran Victor G. Harvey, Sr., VGS continues to grow despite a slow-moving spirits market thanks to rising demand for its premium culturally rich offerings. The expansion includes the newly released Victor George Caramel Vodka created in collaboration with Harvey’s daughter, Jolyn Harvey. 

“Growing in a slow market takes resilience, but we believe in our products and the people behind them,” said Harvey in a press release. “We’re proud to expand our footprint and continue sharing our story and our spirits with new communities.” 

Harvey first made waves in 2006 with the launch of V Georgio Vodka, one of the fastest growing vodka brands in Florida at the time. Nearly two decades later, his vision has evolved into a thriving family-driven company that emphasizes quality, cultural heritage and innovative branding.
