Blue Caterpillar has announced a distribution agreement with UK-based, sustainability-driven Two Drifters Distillery for Global Travel Retail and key domestic markets throughout the Caribbean, North, Central and South America.
Two Drifters Distillery, which features the world’s first carbon negative rum portfolio, was founded by husband-and-wife team Russ and Gemma Wakeham. With every bottle produced, the Devon, UK-based distillery removes over 1 kilogram of CO2 from the atmosphere, setting a new industry benchmark for eco-conscious spirits production.
Through this strategic alliance, Blue Caterpillar will leverage its distribution network to launch Two Drifters’ four core expressions—Pure White Rum, Signature Rum, Lightly Spiced Rum, and Overproof Spiced Pineapple Rum—across key duty free and domestic retail channels.
“We’re thrilled to partner with Blue Caterpillar to bring our vision of sustainable rum to new audiences across the Americas,” said Dr. Russ Wakeham, co-founder of Two Drifters Distillery. “From the beginning, we’ve set out to prove that exceptional rum can be made with carbon negativity at its heart. This partnership marks a big step toward our goal of capturing 1% of the global rum market by 2035—while making a meaningful difference for the planet along the way.”
“Two Drifters is exactly the kind of brand we want to champion—innovative, committed to quality, and genuinely sustainable,” added Michael Gebrael CEO of Blue Caterpillar. “Their rums present a unique proposition for both travel retail and domestic consumers seeking new, premium experiences with a purpose.”
Two Drifters’ full range will be available in GTR and select domestic retailers across the Americas from June 2025.
