Rum of Skepta Campaign —
By Dom Sesto
Havana Club and Skepta onto the next chapter of their global collaboration, a limited-edition rum, Rum of Skepta. Following the creation of two unique Havana Club 7 Rum bottles in summer 2020 and 2021, which drew inspiration from the entwined roots of the brand’s Cuban birthplace and Skepta’s own Nigerian heritage, Rum of Skepta is the pinnacle of a journey which has paid ode to creative impulses, inner strength and the power of community.
London, June 2021.
Commissioned by Metallic Inc for Havana Club.
