Past
The Museum of Distilled Spirits is a tech startup dedicated to the cultural heritage of distilled spirits through the storytelling method of integrating content created by industry experts with the experiences of our audience resulting in compelling event programming. The Museum of Distilled Spirits is unique in that nothing like it exists anywhere on the planet. Founded in academic research conducted at Harvard University between 2017 and 2020, the development team (many of whom hold advanced degrees from Ivy League Universities) includes industry leaders with decades of successful innovation experience in the fields of museums, business, architecture, law, technology and distilled spirits. The Museum of Distilled Spirits is a place where adults from all demographics are welcome to enjoy a favorite distilled spirit while learning about the significant role alcohol has played in world history.
Architectural design and plans in hand, in March of 2020 we submitted an offer to purchase land to build the bricks and mortar project the very week the global pandemic changed everything.
