One of José Andrade's first appointments was to take part in the opening of a new liquor store in Brockton, Massachusetts, Brockton Liquor Store, an event that brought together members of the Cape Verdean community and local entrepreneurs. The presence of the Bravense producer drew the attention of the attendees, who were able to learn more about JBEY brandy and, from now on, find the brand available in this store as well.

Another highlight of this agenda was participation in the Miami Rum Renaissance Festival, held on November 8 and 9, one of the most prestigious rum and brandy festivals in the region. José Andrade took the JBEY brand to the event, where the product aroused curiosity and received praise from experts and visitors for its purity, flavor and authenticity.

According to reports gathered by Bravanews, those who have tried JBEY say that it is a high quality product, made exclusively from pure sugar cane, preserving traditional methods that enhance the genuine flavor and identity of the Brava.

The presence of José Andrade in the USA represents another step in the consolidation of JBEY on the international market and reinforces the potential of Brava's artisanal products. The producer's agenda also includes new meetings, presentations and contacts with distributors, in a strategy aimed at expanding the brandy's marketing network in the United States.

Bravanews will continue to follow this visit and the expansion of the JBEY brand across borders.
