“Data shows that rum is gaining share monthly, and we are excited to support Ten To One in their growth journey,” said Brian Rosen, founder of InvestBev Group. He continued, “Marc and his team have built an incredible brand for what we feel is the next hot category.
According to a report by Spirit Business, InvestBev shared they would partner with spirits investment firm Pronghorn, which invested in the brand last year.

“Brian and the InvestBev team fit the bill on both fronts, and so we’re thrilled to welcome them to the Ten To One family.”
