MurLarkey Distilled Spirits recently announced the appointment of George “Papi” Zwetkow to Master Distiller of MurLarkey.
“George has been an integral member and resource to the distillery since we launched,” said Tom Murray, MurLarkey CEO. “Serving as product master, his artisan crafting of our all-natural infused whiskey line, and his incomparable ‘nose’ overseeing our aged products, have been the cornerstone of our success. From the first bottle of MurLarkey distilled in 2016 to our multiple gold medals, Papi has overseen each and every batch.”
With over 35 years of experience as a master chef, brewer, vintner and distiller, Papi got his start opening Disney’s Contemporary Resort and later becoming a private chef for famous families like the Mellons, Whitneys, and Klaus and Sonny von Bülow. A graduate of the Culinary Institute of America, he also served as the executive chef at Time Warner’s Private Dining Room in New York City’s Rockefeller Center – a position he held for 15 years.
Since 2016, MurLarkey has produced a broad array of award-winning, premium, handcrafted spirits. MurLarkey is now available in Virginia, Washington, D.C. and Maryland.
