Matusalem Rums letter of recommendation



January 5, 2012

Dear Sir/Madame,

Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Jim Tirrell, and I am responsible for worldwide sales of Matusalem Rums.

In April of 2010, I approached Ted McDonnell regarding our Asia/Pacific business and how we intended to grow that segment. At that time we were considering going into Australia only. After several discussions with Ted I began to realize there was an opportunity to expand our business using Ted’s Oceanus AP; Logistic and Warehousing Company and his Asia Pacific liquor network.

With Ted’s, Liberty Lighthouse Group Agency, support we added, in addition to Australia, Taiwan, Thailand, Philippines, New Zealand, Malaysia, and Japan. We now have a solid base of business from which to grow.

I would highly recommend working with Ted McDonnell and his group of Asia Pacific companies; Liberty Lighthouse Group andOceanus AP.

Sincerely
Jim C. Tirrell
