CARL NOLET JR. 

The eldest son of Chairman Carl Nolet, Sr., Carl is the 11^th generation of the Nolet Family.  Along with his younger brother, Bob, he is extremely passionate about the brands his family produces at the Nolet Distillery in Holland.  While growing up in The Netherlands, Carl learned the ins and outs of the distillery and gained the necessary skills to lead Nolet Spirits in the future. 

Carl moved to the United States in 1992 to sell his family’s Ketel One brand in New York.  He started on the street, visiting accounts daily and spending time with bartenders and account owners.  To this day, Carl is still a sales guy at heart and the recent launch of HARLEM® Kruiden Liqueur has allowed him to continue his relationships with the trade by spending more time in the field.

Outside the office, Carl is a golf enthusiast and enjoys cars and traveling.  But most of all, he enjoys spending time with his family and supporting several local charities that give back to the community.
