Savaje Rum Expands Into 9 New Total Wine Stores – Redefining Rum, One Sip at a Time

TAMPA, FL — Savaje Rum, the veteran-owned ultra-premium spirit handcrafted in Tampa Bay, has just secured placement in 9 additional Total Wine & More locations across Florida, marking a powerful milestone in the brand’s explosive growth.
With this expansion, Savaje Rum is now stocked in over 20 Total Wine stores across Florida, signaling a seismic shift in the rum category and reinforcing its reputation as one of Florida’s fastest-growing new spirits brands.
“Savaje isn’t just another rum on the shelf,” says Michael Ferrel, Store Manager at Total Wine Tampa. “It’s one of the few brands customers actually ask for by name. The quality speaks for itself, and the response has been phenomenal. We’re excited to see it expanding across the state.”
“Savaje is doing what most legacy brands can’t—it’s moving cases, building brand loyalty, and creating a culture,”says Christopher Truppi, Owner of Paradise Craft Distributors, awarded Best of the Bay Distributor by Creative Loafing Tampa Bay in 2024. “From the moment it launched, we knew this wasn’t just another boutique spirit—it was a disruptor. Florida hasn’t seen a rum brand like this before.”
Known for its ultra-smooth flavor profile, bold packaging, and unapologetically premium vibe, Savaje is shaking up the industry with a modern, lifestyle-driven approach to a spirit that’s long overdue for reinvention.
“Our goal was never to be average,” says Jason Torrico, CEO & Founder of Savaje Rum and a U.S. Marine Corps combat veteran. “We set out to build a rum that feels like a statement—something worthy of the lifestyle we live and the legacy we leave. Being welcomed into more Total Wine stores proves that people are ready for something different.”
With a devoted fanbase, limited releases that sell out within weeks, and a growing footprint of cocktail lounges, cigar bars, and retailers, Savaje Rum is quickly becoming a standout in the premium spirits space—and it’s just getting started.
