Its newest addition to the family of premium rums, Angostura 1787, was awarded a gold medal in the Dark Rum – Ultra Premium category. Angostura’s 12-year-old rum (Angostura 1824) and its Angostura 1919 earned gold medals in the Dark Rum – aged seven- 12 years and Gold rum – Super Premium categories respectively.

Angostura’s seven-year old premium rum and its three-year-old white rum Reserva won silver medals.

Genevieve Jodhan, CEO said in a media release, “I am delighted that our recently launched 15-year-old rum, Angostura 1787, has been awarded a gold medal. All praise is due to our skilled blenders who continue to create exceptional rums.” In February 2017, the Spirits Business – Rum Masters competition brought together leading independent rum experts, who gathered at Rum and Sugar on London’s West India Quay to recognise and honour the world’s finest brands by engaging in a blind tasting competition. The competition was judged by a panel chaired by Kristiane Sherry and joined by Timothy Falzon, head bartender at Mahiki; Chris Mathurin, co-founder of rum blog Rumming.co.uk; and Keegan Menezes, Drinkapparition blogger.
