About Ron Colon

Ron Colon's story started in 2018 with two befriended colleagues, Thurman Wise and Pepijn Janssens. With a combined experience of over 20 years working in the spirits industry, Wise and Janssens spent their time traveling around the world introducing brands to emerging markets. In 2018, this job took them on a 22-day, 16-country barhop across Latin America, and it was during this trip that El Salvador ("Sivar" in slang) captured their attention.
