A local rum was selected through a blind tasting in London for this year’s best spiced rum in Canada.
Gunpowder and Rose Rum is one of The Newfoundland Distillery Company’s spiced rums.
The rum is made with key flavours of gunpowder, sea salt from Newfoundland Salt Company, kelp, and charred birch.
This is not the company’s first time being selected for an award. Their Chaga Rum was selected last year.
There are categories of all types of rum highlighted each year on an international level at the World 2020 Rum Awards.
‘Oops, we did it again.’ Our Gunpowder & Rose Rum has been selected Best Spiced Rum in Canada at the World 2020 Rum Awards. Last year our Chaga Rum won the same award! Amazing, a little beacon of light and perhaps time for a small, cheering glass. pic.twitter.com/MEw2gBcyHO
