Neptune Rum Barbados Gold lived up to its name taking gold in the gold - super-premium class, while Neptune Rum Caribbean Spiced was awarded gold in the Spiced - ultra-premium category.

Judges praised Neptune Rum Barbados Gold's "caramel and gentle spice" aromas, adding that it delivered "good balance". While Neptune Rum Caribbean Spiced received a gold medal for its "gentle spice and good balance". 

Panellists also said both would be "great for mixing in cocktails".
