Vintage 1970s Virgin Islands Rum Council Print Advertisement — Original Caribbean Rum Original Ad
Approximately 8 x 11.5 inches.
This evocative 1970s vintage advertisement for the U.S. Virgin Islands Rum Council is one of the era's most imaginative spirits campaigns, blending photography and dream logic into a single arresting image. A tiny sailboat drifts through the crystal interior of a coupe glass rimmed with sea foam and a lemon wedge, while the headline reads: 'Ask for Virgin Islands Rums — the next best thing to being there.' Produced for the St. Thomas-based Rum Council, this original print ad merges Caribbean tourism romance with spirits marketing in a way that made the 1970s golden for collectible advertising. A striking magazine advertisement for rum enthusiasts and travel memorabilia collectors alike.
