NEW YORK, NY — From swatches to spirits, the family behind the award-winning and critically-acclaimed bespoke boutique Harlem Haberdashery introduces their first national brand extension HH Bespoke Spirits Collection. The curated spirits collection launches November 2018 in California, Massachusetts and New York.
The family behind the six-year-old boutique Harlem Haberdashery draws inspiration from the rich cultural history and distinctive style of the Harlem Renaissance. ?For twenty-six years and counting our family has created fashion experiences through our celebrity custom clothing business (5001 FLAVORS) and our retail boutique (Harlem Haberdashery). We are excited to present the HH Bespoke Collection to celebrate life fashionably with our curated spirits and be apart of celebratory and responsible lifestyle experiences for our consumers,? says Sharene Wood, President & CEO of Harlem Haberdashery and HH Bespoke Collection partner about creating the brand extension.
The family comprised of Sharene and her husband Guy Wood, Sr, son Guy Wood Jr., her brother Kells Barnett, and two business partners Louis Johnson Jr and Ashlee Muhammad collaborated with AstraLuna Brands to create the following tailored-made spirits:
Harlem Haberdashery Bespoke Gin?- a remix on a traditional London Dry style gin, which is then updated with American botanicals , with moderate juniper flavors up front, which are balanced by an botanical infusion of lavender, rosehip, beach plum and cranberry. Our gin mixes well with everything from a simple tonic water to stronger bitter or sweet flavors.
Harlem Haberdashery Bespoke Rum?- a truly unique blend of aged rums reminiscent of those produced in the 18th century. This expressive and distinctive spirit starts as Grade A molasses, which is then aged in both New American Oak and then once-used Bourbon barrels. The result is a distinct barrel rum extremely rich and complex in flavor, with hints of butterscotch, vanilla and other exotic notes that please the palate.
Harlem Haberdashery Bespoke Vodka?- a super-premium vodka of unparalleled quality. It?s handmade in small batches using locally grown potatoes and distilled three times. This super premium vodka of unparalleled quality is crisp and clean. A perfect mixer for your cocktails or a refreshing drink just by itself.
