Cruzan Hurricane Proof is bottled at 137 proof in acknowledgement of the wind speeds of the category 5 hurricane that swept through the brand’s home island of St. Croix last year.
Cruzan Rum will donate $1 to the Island Spirit Fund for each case of this rum sold, providing aid and support to communities adversely impacted by hurricanes in the U.S. Virgin Islands and across the United States. Cruzan is a founding sponsor of the Island Spirit Fund.
“We’ve named our newest expression as a nod to the resilience of our community in the wake of last year’s devastating storms,” said Gary Nelthropp, Cruzan Rum’s Master Distiller. “We look forward to continuing to support the Island Spirit Fund and the important work it makes possible into 2019 and beyond.”
Created in the aftermath of the destruction caused last year by Hurricanes Maria and Irma, the Island Spirit Fund supports short-and long-term disaster relief efforts in the U.S. Virgin Islands and across the United States, helping rebuild and reinvigorate communities impacted by storms of all kinds. To-date, the Fund has raised nearly $1 million through individual donations, Cruzan’s case matching program, and the generous case-matching donation commitments from several distributor partners.
