Second Generation Spirits Maker launches Kasama, a New Wave of Rum KasamaFebruary 12, 2021 GMT New York, New York, Feb. 12, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Introducing Kasama, a new, small-batch rum brand that aims to redefine the next generation of both rum drinkers and spirits makers from female founder Alexandra Dorda - the daughter of Tad Dorda who co-founded Belvedere and Chopin Vodka in the early ’90s. Leaving behind the typical tropes associated with old-school rum brands like sailors and pirates and absent of a heavily spiced flavor profile, Kasama brings a refreshing approach in palate, production, and branding to a category in need of a breath of fresh air. Paying homage to Alexandra’s Filipino-Polish heritage—Kasama is distilled in the Philippines, bottled at her family’s distillery in Poland, and enjoyed now, in the United States.
