distribution agreement covering the brand's premium rum portfolio on the French market.
This strategic partnership marks a new milestone in the shared ambition of both groups
to further develop the brand in France.
As of 16 March 2026, MBWS will, under this partnership, handle the distribution of
the entire Flor de Caa range. The award-winning portfolio includes iconic and core
expressions such as the 4-year, 12-year, 14-year and 18-year-old rums, prestigious
references including the 25-year and 30-year - V Generaciones editions, as well as

consumer needs.

additives or added sugar, and sustainably produced using environmentally responsible
processes _Carbon Neutral Certified_, Flor de Caa aligns with the major trends shaping
today's spirits' market. The brand will strategically strengthen MBWS's portfolio
in France by expanding its coverage of the international rum category. This high-growth
segment will further enrich MBWS's commercial offering in France and support its growth
momentum.
Leveraging MBWS's strong commercial capabilities, extensive national coverage, and
specialised sales teams operating across all distribution channels - the off-trade,
the on-trade through the BLMHD team, and the specialist wine and spirits retailers
_'Cavistes'_ through the Premium Craft Spirits _PCS_ team - Flor de Caa now has all
the necessary levers in place to accelerate its development and establish itself as
a must-have reference on the French market.
On this occasion, Mr. Fahd KHADRAOUI, Chief Executive Officer of MBWS, stated: "We are very proud to launch this partnership and to welcome the renowned Flor de
Caa brand into our distribution portfolio. We have long been seeking a strong international
rum to complement our offering, and Flor de Caa perfectly meets this ambition, with

one of the most dynamic brands on the French market and to build this partnership
over the long term, fully aligned with our development strategy."
