Hotaling & Co., premium craft spirits importer and
distiller, formerly Anchor Distilling Company, announces its investment in
Denizen Rum, the award-winning line of blended Caribbean rums first introduced back
in 2010. Denizen’s line
includes an aged white rum ($20 a 750-ml.) at 40% abv and a Merchant’s Reserve
offering ($30) at 43% abv, both sourced from multiple Caribbean distillers. Hotaling
& Co. will play an active role alongside Nicholas Pelis, Denizen's founder,
in day-to-day brand management, distribution, and future line extensions.
This is a very interesting rum that I was lucky enough to work with back inn 2011 and 12 developing an interesting group of cocktails for. Denizen is a unique rum and it is good to see Hotaling and Company involved with them.
