Cebu pride Añejo Gold Rum bagged a back-to-back win after the Monde Selection International Quality Institute gave the rum brand its second consecutive Monde Gold Quality Award recently.
The Monde Selection, founded in Brussels, Belgium, is the world’s most prestigious body that recognizes the highest standards of taste and quality in food and beverages since 1961. The quality award recently given to Añejo Gold Rum placed the rum brand as among the world’s best in quality and taste, its press release said.
Produced in the province of Cebu, the gold rum was launched by Ginebra San Miguel Inc. in 2017. Since then, it has gained patronage in the Visayas and Mindanao, winning the hearts and taste buds of rum lovers in the region, the press release said.
The drink was featured in CNN Philippines’ “The Scoop” coverage of the Rum Festival in Bacolod and Best of Cebu events, the press release added.*
