This annual gathering of rum judges
from around the world has become a greatly anticipated event by rum enthusiasts
and rum brands from the Caribbean and beyond. In many cases, new emerging
brands, small craft distillers and exotic expressions never before seen in the
United States are being celebrated across the globe with their success in this
forum.
"The
rum judges were surprised and delighted to find a greater number of fine rums
in their blind tasting session again this year," said RumXP organizer Robert
V. Burr. "The trend toward better quality mixing rums for cocktails, more
exquisite luxury sipping rums and greatly improved flavored and spiced rums
continues. The RumXP judges evaluated more rums than ever before. The
competition was tough, but these rum experts rose to the challenge and
identified the best of the best of 2013."
In the Overproof Rum category - An additional Gold award in this category went to Rum Fire of Jamaica.
"The
RumXP member judges congratulate all the winning entries in their 2013 tasting
competition," said Burr. "These accolades reflect the work of
outstanding master distillers, blenders and rum brands from around the
world."
