Bwason Dous (widely known as Dous) is a luxury alcohol brand founded by the St. Vilûs & Louis family. Its name, meaning “sweet drinks” in Haitian Creole, reflects its rich playful heritage. As a Haitian-American family, they set out to perfect Haiti’s most beloved cocktail—Kremas—establishing it as the brand’s signature offering. Rooted in tradition and crafted for elegance, Bwason Dous embodies opulence and prestige, appealing to a sophisticated audience.

“Bwason Dous represents more than a brand—it embodies a legacy carefully nurtured by generations of devotion to an exceptional craft. Rooted in our family’s enduring love of Kremas, the flagship drink of our venture, Bwason Dous carries forward Haitian culture steeped in meticulous artistry and an uncompromising commitment to excellence.

Our journey began with an intimate understanding of Kremas, a hallmark for Haitian holidays and celebrations renowned for its thick texture and symphony of flavors. For decades, this cherished beverage has graced our family gatherings, becoming synonymous with cultural festivities, warmth, and togetherness. The idea to share this tradition with the world was not merely a business decision but a deeply personal aspiration to honor and share a cultural treasure.  

At Bwason Dous, every sip is a testament to our pursuit of precision and refinement. We are relentless in our attention to detail—from curating the finest ingredients, to safeguarding the exacting methods that produce its lush, creamy consistency, and perfectly balanced spices (including our secret ingredient). Nothing is hurried, and nothing is compromised. It is this reverence for the craft that defines Bwason Dous and distinguishes it as a purveyor of authentic excellence.

Our approach reflects not just an appreciation for the art of making Kremas but also the ethos of connection it fosters. Each bottle encapsulates expertise, familial tradition, and a reverence for quality that transcends commercial ambitions. This is not mass production; it is a thoughtful, deliberate creation designed to honor the essence of what Kremas represents to the St. Vilûs & Louis family and to so many other Haitian families. We want to share the beauty of Haitian culture with the world, so if you’re a customer, thank you for joining us on this journey. We are humbled by your belief in what Bwason Dous stands for—exquisite craftsmanship, cultural pride, and the timeless beauty of tradition.”

The newly unveiled crest of the St. Vilû s & Louis family marks the dawn of a new era—a symbol of legacy reborn and destiny reimagined. Rooted in the rich heritage of generations past, the emblem does not replace history but rather emphasizes its creation as history in the making, blending time-honored lineage with the promise of a new dynasty. Both the St. Vilû s & Louis names will not merely be remembered, but respected. The crest stands as both a shield and a standard, signifying strength, unity, and the unshakable foundation upon which this family forges ahead. A new insignia for a new age—one that ensures the family’s legacy will endure here on Earth until the day the Lord Jesus Christ returns.
