If you have an old bottle of Old St. Croix (formerly A.H. Riise) in your hand and compare it with a more recent bottle, you might wonder why what used to say \u2018Rum\u2019 is now \u2018Superior Spirit Drink\u2019. What\u2019s the difference? And does it matter to you?<\/p>

New EU legislation affects the spirits industry<\/strong><\/p>

In April 2019, the EU adopted a new regulation ((EU) 2019\/787) on the definition, description, presentation and labelling of spirit drinks that repealed the former regulation (EC) no. 110\/2008. The primary intention behind the new regulation is to increase transparency in the market overall, and to help ensure a high level of consumer protection in the market. Initiatives that we as a company applaud!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
