Jamie Duff (1992-94) and business partner Roger Holmes has been honored with a Double Gold medal for its Gold variant and a bronze medal for its White rum at the prestigious 2010 San Francisco World Spirits Competition. Judged on March 15, the competition attracts over 1,000 products from 57 countries and is judged by a panel of experts from some of the world’s top restaurants and bars, as well as influential media and alcohol critics.
“We were pretty blown away to hear that both our Stolen Rum’s were awarded the medals in a line up of the world’s most premium spirits,” says Jamie. “Stolen Rum had only been in the market for three weeks when we entered the competition. We couldn’t have hoped for a better start.”
The San Francisco World Spirits Competition is widely regarded as the most influential and respected spirits competition in the world. As winners of a San Francisco World Spirits Competition Double Gold award, Jamie and Roger will participate in a tour around the United States with The Tasting Panel magazine, a nationally respected trade magazine for the wine and spirits industry.
