Greenwood Whiskey - Inspiration and Triumph

This week, I sat down with the CEO Kweillin Gordon (KG) and Head of Business Development Sheldon Johns-Harris from Greenwood Whiskey. We talked about their humble beginnings, what inspires them and why.

The guys of Greenwood Whiskey shared the process of starting their business and discussed the time it took from conception to launch. They drew a lot of their inspiration from Tulsa's bustling black economy, Oklahoma in the early twentieth century. 

You can see that inspiration from all aspects of their craft. Whether it’s the love of entrepreneurship that radiates throughout the company mission or the detailed flavor profile, Greenwood Whiskey is committed to excellence from all angles. 

We chatted about adjusting to the new normal of pandemic times, how they get through the tough times in business, and the best stick to pair with a glass of Greenwood.
