LEBLON CACHAÇA NAMED BEST OF CLASS AT
RUM EXPERIENCE INTERNATIONAL TASTING COMPETITION
London, England (December 5, 2007) – Leblon, a luxury cachaça from Brazil, has been named Best of Class in the Un-Aged Cachaça category at the Inaugural 2007 Rum Experience International Tasting Competition.
The competition, which featured 90 different brands from around the world, was held at the luxurious Artesian Bar, part of the Langham Hotel in London. Over the course of two days, several styles of rums were tasted and judged by a panel of 14 industry experts from the distilling, mixology, culinary and spirits media industries. The panel blind tasted all 90 of the rums, which were separated into 13 different categories. These were marked on appearance, aroma, initial taste, body and finish. The rums were then recommended by the various judges on whether they should be awarded a bronze, silver or a gold medal. Then finally once the scores had been totaled, the top rum from each category was awarded a “Best of Class” model.
“As this is the only spirit competition judging solely rum and sugar cane spirits, it is a real honor to be singled out as the best un-aged cachaça,” said Steve Luttmann, founder of Leblon. “This, combined with the many other awards we have received since our introduction, solidifies our place as the highest-quality cachaça available today.”
ABOUT LEBLON
