Word on the street and filings with the NY State Liquor Authority indicate that Banks DIH is about to launch XM Rum into the US market for 2009. Rumors suggest that all approvals are in and that NY will see the first shipment perhaps in time for XMAS.
The Distributor is Rums of Guyana and Demerara of Long Island according to industry filings.
Coming in will be the 12 year old Millennium, the 10 year old Extra Mature, the V.X.O and the Daguiar all previously only available on the black market in the USA and legally available in Guyana, Europe, the Caribbean and some places in Canada.
XM rum has a cult following and is the so called gold standard of Guyana (Demerara)rums.
