If you’re looking for the next great bottle to add to your collection, The Ultimate Awards just announced the winners of their 2026 Miami blind tasting competition during the Miami Rum Congress. This year’s standout was undoubtedly the E. León Jimenes 110 Aniversario, which wowed the judges to earn the “Best in Show” distinction. The event focused specifically on “sipping rums”—those high-quality expressions that shine best when enjoyed neat.
The competition broke down winners into several age-based categories. Burdekin Rum took the top spot for unaged spirits, while Hampden Estate 1753 and Ron Abuelo 7 Year led the mid-aged categories. For those who enjoy a bit of extra flavor, Copalli Organic Cacao Rum was named the best in its class. With a judging panel featuring some of the biggest names in the rum world, these results serve as a definitive guide for premium rum enthusiasts this year.
