Galvez Rum Earns Gold and Silver Medals from The San Francisco World Spirits Competition

Galvez Rum earned a Gold Medal for its Victory Blend Rum and a Silver Medal for its Silver
Rum during the 2026 San Francisco World Spirits Competition (SFWSC). This event stands
as the most prestigious spirits competition in the world, setting the industry standard for
excellence. The competition is judged through a rigorous, blind tasting process designed to
ensure fairness, consistency, and credibility. Gold Medal winners represent “exceptional quality
residing near the summit of achievement—a testament to unparalleled craftsmanship and
excellence.” Silver Medal winners exhibit “outstanding qualities showcasing refinement, finesse,
and delightful complexity that places them among the best examples of their kind.” Galvez
Victory Blend is a classic Cuban rum aged for six to eight years in Kentucky bourbon barrels for
a warm, complex, balanced flavor featuring honeyed fruit notes, along with spice and a dry, soft
oak finish. Galvez Silver is an exceptional white rum made with spirits aged in bourbon barrels
and Oloroso sherry barrels, then blended and finished for incredible smoothness and an elegant
flavor profile featuring notes of tropical fruit and light spice that finishes with an earthy-soft
sweetness.
