JONATHAN: We’re Trying Denizen Rum these days, delicious, right dad?
JEFFREY: Yes, but did you know that this is a rum brand whose very name is inspired by the Latin word Deintus meaning…
JONATHAN: “from within”, yes I actually knew that. And it is commonly used to describe free-spirited people who travel the world in search of new experiences. Kind of like you, Dad.
JEFFREY: And Denizen Rum does just that by sourcing and blending unique small batch rums from throughout the Caribbean to create richer, more distinctive rums layered in character and flavor.
JONATHAN: I love the tropical fruit notes in the rum, don’t you.
JEFFREY: Sure do, Jon.
