Rising Star Brinley Shipwreck Rum Adds White Reserve to Line Distribution to Begin June 1

Set to launch nationwide directly after the Memorial Day holiday weekend, Brinley Shipwreck White Reserve (SRP $23) joins a star fleet of six award-winning rums, flavored with the finest natural ingredients sourced from around the world: Coconut, Coconut Cream, Coffee, Mango, Spiced, and Vanilla.

Brinley Shipwreck Rums hail from the Caribbean island of St. Kitts, where Zach Brinley and his father Bob began hand-crafting Brinley Gold Vanilla Rum in 2002. All their rums (http://www.brinleygoldshipwreck.com/) are made with blackstrap molasses, which is more concentrated and far less sweet than regular molasses.

"Brinley Shipwreck is one of the fastest-growing brands of rum in the U.S. and white rum is the single largest segment of the rum category. Putting the two together was a no-brainer," said Larry Neuringer, spirits director for importer Market Street Spirits.

"For a while now, rum aficionados have been asking for a more complex, super-quality white rum with a little age. They spoke and we listened," adds Zach Brinley.

At 80 proof (40% abv), Brinley Shipwreck White Reserve is incredibly smooth and light, thanks to being distilled five times and a year's aging in American oak barrels. With a hint of oak, coconut and sugar cane, the White Reserve is ideal for premium classic white rum cocktails, such as a Daiquiri, Mojito, Piña Colada, and Cuba Libre.

The Brinleys have given Shipwreck White Reserve Rum a textured silvery-white label printed on sustainable American birch. Navigational coordinates mark the locations of several historic shipwrecks, including the Titanic and a British wreck off the coast of St. Kitts. Fittingly, a portion of every Shipwreck White Rum sold will be donated to the St. Kitts Sea Turtle Monitoring Network (https://www.stkittsturtles.org/), which rescues and protects sea turtles. Look for a neck tag on every bottle highlighting this cause. The launch of Brinley Shipwreck White Reserve will also be accompanied by a full array of POS and integrated marketing support.

Brinley Shipwreck White Reserve Rum Retails for $23 per 750 ml Bottle
