LAS VEGAS, NV / ACCESSWIRE / March 29, 2023 / DEMON SPIRITS LLC, maker of Sinfully Smooth DEMON Spiced and DEMON TropiCoco Rum, is teaming up with Kinsbrae Packaging and 17A Distillery in Las Vegas to deliver the Demon Rum Eco Bottle, made from ninety-four percent recycled paperboard. Just in time for Earth Day, Demon Rum is the first spirit brand in North America to fully produce, bottle and distribute in this new paperboard bottle. Additionally, the Demon Rum Eco Bottle uses eighty-four percent less water, six times less carbon and is five times lighter than a glass bottle of the same size.
For Demon Rum (or the Company), the partnership with 17A Distillery, the first legal distillery in the history of Las Vegas, and Owner Brendan Gaughan, allows the Company to produce and bottle in the southwestern United States. This alliance, along with the much lighter Eco Bottle, dramatically reduces the Company's overall shipping cost and carbon footprint. As an all-natural brand, these relationships are the next important step toward reducing the Company's environmental footprint, and establishes the foundation for future sustainability efforts.
To further the Company's sustainable initiatives, an additional relationship with Ecodrive - verified tree planting for climate action, has been formed. With each bottle of Demon Rum sold, a mangrove tree will be planted and blockchain verified by Ecodrive.
"Reducing waste and the overall carbon footprint through packaging is a challenge we need to address. We believe alternative solutions, like those including tree planting, help move the industry forward," said Demon Spirits Co-Founder and CEO Jeff Warren. "We are committed to sustainable packaging for all future products under the Demon Rum brand."
The process of moving the Demon Rum production and bottling operation to Las Vegas, NV with sustainable packaging will be complete by the end of first quarter 2023. The new Eco Bottle will be sold in stores by Earth Day 2023 and joins the distinctive glass bottle, as both are sold in 750ml, six-bottle cases.
"The Eco Bottle launch is timed with Earth Day and our team is proud to be the first spirit brand produced and marketed with this sustainable bottle in North America," said Wayne Karls, Demon Spirits Co-Founder and CMO. "We look forward to working with all On and Off Premise sales channels as we bring it to market."
Demon Rum is Distributed by Atlantis Beverage in Nevada, 88 Spirits in California and General Beverage/Saratoga in their home state of Wisconsin. For more information, and high resolution photo assets of the Demon Rum sustainable Eco Bottle, please visit https://drinkdemonrum.com/media/.
