# Yolo Rum, LLC.

Superior rum made by legendary experience

## Elevator pitch
We make rum that's distilled by legendary rum maker Don Pancho Fernandez, the former Cuban minister of rum for Fidel Castro for 40 years. While still in what we consider our "proof of concept phase," we've won 21 international rum awards and are sold in 200 Florida and Colorado locations. Now, with two recent distribution deals, we're ready to launch an aggressive marketing and product push to become a major player in the burgeoning rum market.

## FAQ
1. **How many shares does $100 buy? I can't seem to find it or I'm just missing it?**
   - Hi Tatia. Shares are $1 a piece so with $100 you would have 100 shares.
2. **I am in Panama as I type and have been following YOLO RUM for a short bit. I invested 1K via credit card, which was the limit. I tried to invest 10K but was dis-allowed. If I want to increase my investment from where I am, (not Texas), how do I do that and stay within the spec...**
   - Robert, Thank you for following Yolo Rum on this exciting journey, and congratulations on your investment, and welcome to the Yolo Rum team! I'm not entirely sure why you are limited. I will ask Wefunder for insight. I will let you know when I get an answer. Thank you again. Sincerely, Philip
3. **Greetings to all, how would one go about liquidating the stock in near future? Also if one is betting on a 5M valuation cap where would that put the stock price-at that time?**

We are working hard to revolutionize how things are done in an ancient industry, and we can't accomplish this overnight, but with the help of our enthusiastic "Yolo Rum Community" we are striving to be a force in the market.

5. **Something is confusing me. If your story began six years ago, how are you going to be able to market and sell ten year, or older, barrel-aged rums? What quantities, today, are in the barrel and aging and what is the potential or limits, in sales volume, from this inventory?**
   - David, Hello! Thank you for asking an excellent question. Our (Don Pancho's) distillery is part of a "family" that has been producing rum for over 100 years. They have saved and continue to age rum (someday I want to to bottle a 50 year or older rum for a very limited edition Yolo Rum). We are currently selling much more Yolo Silver, because of the mixing capabilities, versatility and price. We have the potential production capabilities of tens of millions of liters for Yolo Rum Silver, and m...

- Q: Hi guys...so when do I as an investor expect to receive my own bottle, and revenue?
  - A: Ivan, Thank you for the investment of your hard earned money. We opted out of perks, to make sure that every dollar spent is done so with fiscal responsibility. The stock certificates that we are issuing are official tokens of your participation in our historic crowdfund campaign. Please keep an eye out for tastings and you can try a sample for free, we will also be hosting events where our investors will get VIP access (like our investors' party last month). Please keep hyping Yolo Rum to help blow us up! You will get paid dividends on your stock purchase when we become profitable. Please be patient, and understand that we are building something that has gigantic potential an it will take some time. Everyday we are working hard and it seems like we are passing milestones at an increased pace. Please keep the faith and please keep telling everybody about incredibly awesome, sugar free, gluten free Yolo Rum! YOLO!! Thank you. Sincerely, Philip
