AWARDS: THE BEST RUMS OF 2025

feature image

The rums featured in the AWARDS 2025 were selected over the past 12 months. Only those that achieved the highest scores in blind tastings and reviews were shortlisted and re-evaluated in a new blind tasting. Among the rums assessed in 2025, the aim was to give greater visibility to the latest releases, taking into consideration, however, also the new editions of products in the brand's core ranges. The ranking was compiled by testing all available products, including very limited editions, a common occurrence in the rum world.

Once revealed, you can click on the rums shown in the images below to access their product descriptions and corresponding tasting notes.

HOW ARE THE AWARDS MADE?

Among the whiskies and rums that receive the highest scores in blind tastings and reviews throughout the year, the top-performing labels are shortlisted for further evaluation. These products are then tested again in a new blind tasting, meaning the panel has no knowledge of which whiskies or rums are being assessed. The only indication provided on each sample concerns the ABV: a red mark signifies that the product has an ABV higher than 50% (100° proof). The results are then compared, and from this process the TOP 10 are determined.

Since 2020 CigarsLover Magazine has released the top 10 rums of the year. This list will be published in detail in the #5 2025 issue of CigarsLover Magazine.
