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:
“Wars and revolutions and battles are due simply and solely to the body and its desires. All wars are undertaken for the acquisition of wealth; and the reason why we have to acquire wealth is the body, because we are slaves in its service.”
