With National Rum Day (August 16th) right around the corner, rum lovers can get in the mood by celebrating the unique style of Canada’s newest spiced rum – The Baron Samedi.

Smooth, rich and fully flavoured, The Baron Samedi is a blend of Caribbean column and Jamaican pot still rum with signature “vetiver” spice - a grass native to Haiti with earthy and woody notes.
