Meet Your Friend Charles
I'm Charles Everett III—your go-to guide in the world of Black-owned spirits, wine, and beer. What began as a simple search for Brough Brothers Bourbon has blossomed into @urfriendcharles, now the largest digital platform dedicated exclusively to showcasing and selling Black-owned spirits.
With my background in supply chain management, storytelling passion, and commitment to uplifting small businesses, I've made it my mission to spotlight the craft, culture, and creativity behind minority-owned brands. Because I believe every great spirit comes with an even greater story—and these are stories that deserve to be told.
