Interesting...had no idea.
I do remember a restaurant called Sambo way back when that was forced to shut down because of its imagery. Had no idea the name itself was also considered derogatory.
So Sam is short for Sambo in the case of this liquor? If so, then yeah, I get the reasoning....but i honestly looked at that label and just saw an old guy laughing.
Looking at the company website, it appears the original curator was a guy named Sam.

But more importantly...anyone tried this stuff?
I like a good rum and hadnt even heard of this stuff til today.
