Robinson said, “I look forward to bringing my knowledge and experience to Wicked Dolphin as we look to the future of our brand. We have a great opportunity to create some great spirits and to have some fun along the way.”
Wicked Dolphin was established in 2012 and is a woman-owned rum distillery that uses locally sourced sugarcane and natural ingredients to make its line of rums.
Owner and President JoAnn Elardo stated, “Bringing Eric to Wicked Dolphin will give us the ability to meet the demand for Wicked Dolphin throughout Florida, while being able to still give our customers a great Florida Award-Winning Rum, made right here using the best ingredient.”
To celebrate National Rum Month and Day, Elardo and Robinson led tours of the distillery and introduced visitors to its variety of spirits.
Wicked Dolphin just finished bottling its collaboration with St. Petersburg-based Green Bench Brewery and is preparing to bottle a very limited release of an agricole-style organic sugarcane juice rum. Robinson’s introduction to the distillery will most likely bring more fresh ideas and inspiration to the already successful Florida rum brand.
