DENVER and SAN DIEGO, Sept. 15, 2017 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Fresh off multiple wins at the New York World Wine and Spirits Competition, Yolo Rum‘s premier blend, Yolo Rum Gold, won a gold medal and new boutique blend Yolo Rum Clear won a silver medal at the 2017 San Diego Spirits Festival and International Competition.

“This is better than we could have imagined,” said Yolo Rum founder Philip Guerin. “Of course we believe in our product, but the number of wins we’ve gotten at these many prestigious competitions is a bit staggering. But we’re not going to let it go to our heads — stay humble, keep working, that’s our attitude.”

Held in late August at the Port Pavilion on Broadway Pier, the San Diego Spirits Festival and International Competition attracted entrants and attendees from all over the United States and the world. One hundred sixty-two entrants participated in a variety of spirits categories. Ranked as one of the top cocktail festivals in America by Fodors, SDISF judges come from the ranks of top food and beverage buyers, writers, columnists, beverage directors, and sommeliers. This year marks the ninth anniversary of the competition and exposition.

With wins at the San Diego Spirits Festival and International Competition and the New York World Wine and Spirits Competition, Yolo Rum continues an impressive, award-winning run at industry expositions and competitions. Yolo Rum received multiple Best-of-Class wins from Spirits of the Americas, won multiple gold medals including double gold at the Denver International Spirits Competition and has taken home more gold medals at the Miami Rum Renaissance Festival. Now they add two more medals to the trophy case.
