Blake Vanderfield-Kramer, Senior Brand Manager for Rum Co. of Fiji said, “It’s great to see our rum portfolio continue to be awarded on the international stage as we start to move into markets around the world, particularly the US. We’re really excited about the opportunities in the west coast, particularly because of Fiji’s proximity and strong attraction of consumers to the purity and culture of the Fijian islands. Our mission is to help consumers uncover this award-winning range of rums around the globe, while showcasing Fiji’s heritage, craftsmanship and quality.”
This latest win is part of the growing interest in the award-winning premium rums which has now expanded to west coast of the United States through our partnership with Young’s Market Company in California, a premier distributor of wines, spirits and select beverages.
