?Rhum Fest Award 2024: The Winning Rums of the Contest

This year marks the grand return of the Rhum Fest Award competition for the 10th anniversary of Rhum Fest. No fewer than 30 judges gathered a few days before the event to taste more than 350 rums in competition. The jury is international, coming from all corners of the globe. The tastings are of course blind and only the categories are known to the judges. The rums are divided into 17 categories. It is not excluded that some rums belong to several categories. Each judge assigns a score to each rum, those with the most points are awarded a gold, silver or bronze medal. Of course, these medals will highlight the winning bottles during the 3 days of Rhum Fest Paris. We thought it would be a good idea to list them on our blog of excellence in order to facilitate the search for these rums to buy them or for the Rhum Fest Paris.

PURE JUICE AND AGRICOLE RHUMS

Pure cane juice and agricultural rums mean the same thing or almost, the term agricultural is dedicated to specific origins. As you read these lines, we are talking about the French West Indies, Réunion and the island of Madeira.

But what is a pure cane juice rum or an agricultural rum?

It is a rum made from sugar cane, harvested and then crushed to extract the juice. There is therefore no intermediate step between harvesting and fermenting the cane juice.

Pure juice white agricultural rum

We are talking about white rum that will remain white because it will not be influenced by the wood of a barrel or vat. White rum can only be worked by letting it rest in a stainless steel tank with regular stirring for the integration of flavors. Here are the winning rums in this category of agricultural white rum and pure cane juice:
