Miami-based brand SOIRÉ Blanco, which is launching in early Q2 2025, seeks to redefine the luxury rum experience through an emphasis on timeless elegance and time-honored artistry of Caribbean rum-making.
SOIRÉ Blanco partners with EA Scheer, "the world’s premier authority in rum blending," to bring two kinds of high-end luxury rum to market — the two-to-five-year-old Charcoal-Filtered Rum from Trinidad and the Dominican Republic and the Unaged Column-Still Rum from Barbados.
SOIRÉ Blanco also emphasizes brand experiences and accessibility in its ethos. In addition to the direct-to-consumer priority, the luxury rums will also come with NFC-enabled bottles, powered by IYK App. This functionality helps verify the authenticity of the spirit while also highlighting exclusive brand content and engagingly curated experiences.
