Black History Month Artist Edition:
Caribbean Dark Rum (86 Proof)
Our Story Retold
Ten To One is proud to release a special edition Caribbean Dark Rum in partnership with artist Devin B. Johnson. Johnson’s piece titled ‘Inner Glow’ is an inspired work that pays homage to the power and wisdom drawn from the collective fabric of a shared Black heritage. The overarching blue theme draws from historical West African influences and is utilized as a symbol of togetherness and harmony, while the prominent figure, representative of the African diaspora, has a poignant gaze to the future.
