US-based Yolo Rum has entered a new distribution partnership with Mexcor International Wine and Spirits in Florida.

As per the agreement, Mexcor will distribute Yolo Rum Gold, Yolo Rum Silver and Yolo Rum Clear in the region.

Yolo Rum explained that the new partnership will provide a platform to expand its footprint in Florida and other areas of the US, including Texas and California.

“Yolo Rum claims that all of its products are free from gluten, artificial colours, flavours and preservatives.”

Founded in 1989, Mexcor distributes more than 100 spirit brands through its national sales network.

Yolo Rum founder Philip Guerin said: “We eagerly anticipate an amazing future with Mexcor. We believe Yolo Rum is the best rum in the world, we support our brand with the positivity, vigour and pride it demands, and Mexcor brings the same passion and commitment to their endeavours, it’s a perfect partnership.”

Based in Denver, Colorado, Yolo Rum claims that all of its products are free from gluten, artificial colours, flavours and preservatives, and are produced using a rare cane sugar found only in Central America and the Caribbean.

The products are said to have been aged in charred American white oak barrels after passing through a five-stage fermenting and distilling process.

The three new rum variants have been produced by its master distiller and rum blender Francisco Fernandez.
