Founder of Old Harbor

Got my start in the craft beer industry by helping set-up Mike Hess Brewing Co. After a few years decided that whiskey, rum and gin were more my speed, so I started Old Harbor Distilling Co. We have been operating since September 28, 2014 on our still, 'The Belafonte'. I also bartend at our speakeasy, The Prop Shop, which is a member's only location hidden in our East Village Warehouse next to Petco Park....

Editor's Note

Southwestern gin meets Italian bitter in this crisp, cucumber-forward riff on the Archangel. A clean, spirit-forward sipper that balances botanical depth with a bright, vegetal finish.
