Gosling – Castle Partners offers a leading premium – and innovative portfolio of Rum, Ginger Beer and RTD’s, which coincide perfectly well with our brand building philosophy and ambitions in the USA Duty Free channel.

“We look forward to working many more years with the Gosling – Castle Partners team and to achieve our mutual goals.”
