Skid Row released their epic debut record “Skid Row” in January of 1989. It was an instant success being certified 5x platinum and spawning three chart topping singles: “Youth Gone Wild”, “I Remember You”, and “18 and Life”. Their uncompromising attitude and unique playing style has led them to over 20 million in record sales worldwide. In the pantheon of rock and metal, they stand tall as bona-fide legends.
Paying homage to one of their biggest hits and celebrating the 35th anniversary of the song (and album), the band has released the ultra-premium spirit 18 and Life Rum. The rum is a distinctive fusion of 16–18-year-old Guyanese rum and touts the distinct touch of European aging techniques. This heavy-hitting, full molasses forward powerhouse is exactly what you’d expect to represent this hard rock anthem in the hearts and on the palates of fans.
The Wild One cocktail pays tribute to Ricky and his tequila. Fans will discover floral notes that play off the molasses flavors, and the accompanying traditional tiki ingredients invoke a sense of escapism. In honor of the song “18 and Life”, turn it up loud as you enjoy this one!
