Here are a few headlines of what we’ve been up to lately. Incredible how the journey of Spirited Union unfolds… spoiler alert: personalized label incoming!
Before looking forward at what’s left of 2019, here are a few headlines of what we’ve been up to lately. Incredible how the journey of Spirited Union unfolds, with great opportunities and challenges as we’re rewriting the rule book when it comes to rum.
Although we still jump on our bikes to do our deliveries in Amsterdam, it’s crazy to see the way the Spirited Union has grown from a one man operation to an international brand, distillery, team, and purpose; adding creativity and flavour innovation to rum by exploring the diversity in cane, soil and climate, and uniting this with botanicals.
Join me as I’m sharing a few events from these past months.
Cheers Ruben

NORDICS LEADING THE WAY
Arguably best in Europe when it comes to gastronomy and the level of drinks, it’s a market full of incredible bars and restaurant. Together with Collection Spirits we’ve decided to give bars a bit more to shout about, as we launched an Amsterdam incentive, which we kicked of with the Sub-Zero daiquiri challenge.
POLAND BLAZING TRAIL
