Roberto Serrallés

Growing up in Puerto Rico surrounded by his family’s business, Roberto Serrallés could scarcely avoid the rum world. But after 20 years in Puerto Rico, he moved to the United States to pursue a PhD from the University of Oregon with the hope of one day becoming a professor. He didn’t stay away from Puerto Rico for long. When his father called seeking advice on an environmental issue the company was facing, Serrallés was intrigued, and he spent the next four years consulting on a wastewater energy project for Destillería Serrallés. After completing the project, Serrallés joined the family business full time, and today, he’s Vice President of Business Development and Commercial Director. He recently took time to chat with Joshua Harris of The Bon Vivants (and Pig & Punch) about why he’s passionate about Don Q products and how he likes to spend his downtime. // Info by Imbibe
