Global Rum Masters (The Spirit Business) Rum Results

This week, TheSpiritsBusiness.com, announced the results of the “Global Rum Masters Rum Judging”. Of the 76 rums reviewed, only 9 rums received the group’s highest rating of Master. The final results reveal that the judges did not think much of the White Rums where none received a Master rating while they really liked the Super Premium flight awarding all but one rum a Master or Gold rating.

Information about the “Global Rum Masters” is limited but it appears as if the website’s editor assembled two tasting teams consisting of London bar managers/owners and rum aficionados for a long day of rum tasting. Overall it looks like they had a fun day of rum tasting while also identifying a number of high quality rums in a variety of rum categories.
