1995 Acquisition
The Barton Brands liquor unit of New York's Canandaigua Wine Co. (now Constellation Brands) acquired the brand name in 1995 and resumed production. Barton uses the brand for a line of liqueurs and cordials. In 2009 Constellation Spirits, including the Mr. Boston brand, was sold to the Sazerac Company of New Orleans, who have subsequently released light and dark rums imported from the U.S. Virgin Islands under the Mr. Boston name.

Famous quotes containing the word acquisition:
“Always and everywhere children take an active role in the construction and acquisition of learning and understanding. To learn is a satisfying experience, but also, as the psychologist Nelson Goodman tells us, to understand is to experience desire, drama, and conquest.”
—Carolyn Edwards (20th century)
