Victor George Spirits partners with RNDC
Vodka producer Victor George Spirits (VGS) has secured a multi-state distribution deal in the US with Republic National Distributing Company (RNDC).
The brand’s portfolio will be distributed by RNDC in US states California, Georgia, Arizona and Kentucky.
The company’s namesake vodka is currently available in 45 states, and its Fort Mosé 1738 Bourbon is distributed in seven states.
“We took this as an opportunity to research those really committed to this type of support and wanted to work with those companies,” said Victor G Harvey, CEO of Victor George Spirits.
“RNDC is one of those companies who is not only committed but has a clear vision for creating successful partnerships with Black owned brands, we are grateful for this opportunity.”
Fort Mosé was launched in June this year, with VGS agreeing to give US$1 from every bottle of the Bourbon to a historical society.
Harvey added: “Our goal is to be the largest Black-owned spirits company in the United States by 2025. We have our work cut out for us but we are up for the challenge and with great distribution and retail partners we know we will achieve our goal.”
In November 2021, VGS secured a loan of US$2.45 million to build a new distillery complex that will include a restaurant and rooftop bar.
The Fort Lauderdale Community Redevelopment Agency board agreed to donate the money to fund the construction of VGS’ new facility.
Located at Sistrunk Boulevard, in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, the new complex will be called The Victory Building.
