Marblehead have secured the rights to distribute Mahiki Coconut Rum in the Scottish on-trade. Mahiki Coconut takes its name from the tiki-themed nightclub Mahiki in London, and is made using rum from the Foursquare distillery in Barbados. Mahiki Coconut is a coconut rum liqueur that claims to ‘capture the escapist fun of Mahiki’.
Pier Adams, owner of both Mahiki Coconut and Mahiki Night Club, comments, “The UK and Ireland provide an exciting opportunity for a young and fresh brand like Mahiki Rum to appeal to a new generation of coconut rum drinkers. The Mahiki brand is known internationally and that coupled with the unique and exciting plans we have in place provide a fantastic springboard for us in these markets. Given Marblehead’s proven track record of building brands, we feel that they are the perfect partner.”
Emma Wykes, Managing Director of Marblehead, says, “We are excited to be working with Piers again on this internationally renowned brand and this confirms Marblehead’s place in the industry as an independent, brand-building distributor. We have a strong portfolio of brands with integrity and Mahiki Coconut Rum will complement it very well as a rum brand with such an exciting and acclaimed reputation.”
