The winners of this year’s “Best Rum Ambassador” competition have been announced by The Ultimate Awards, a respected organization that honors achievement in the rum industry. The winning rum ambassador and top positions have been chosen following an exciting voting process that involved rum lovers from all over the world.

Being nominated by the TUA committee alone is already a success because it shows that their remarkable effort has been acknowledged by professionals in the field. The chosen ambassadors have demonstrated their knowledge of and devotion to their individual rum brands, making them deserving candidates for the position.

The “People’s Choice” voting procedure gave the competition an additional layer of excitement and involvement. Rum lovers had the chance to directly engage by voting for their preferred ambassador. Even though there can only be one winner, it’s vital to recognize that all competitors have shown extraordinary talent and given back to the rum business. They are all successful in their own right in the end.

Ron Centenario was one company that stood out during the competition because of the consistent support they provided for their ambassador, Miguel Sequeira Torres. They successfully promoted their ambassador and urged supporters to vote with an Instagram ad campaign that took use of the platform’s popularity and reach. This campaign serves as an example of Ron Centenario’s commitment to supporting their representative and emphasizes the value of cooperation between the brand and its ambassador.

Following are the complete results of the 2023 “Best Rum Ambassador” contest:

  1. Miguel Sequeira Torres (815 votes; Ron Centenario)
  2. Second place: Sergio Reyes (Don Q Rum) – 406 votes
  3. Din Hassan (The Island Rum Company) came in third with 375 votes.

Miguel Sequeira Torres from Ron Centenario has been named the “Best Rum Ambassador” of the year after rigorous consideration and tens of thousands of votes, garnering an outstanding total of 815 votes.

The passion and commitment of Miguel Sequeira Torres in promoting Ron Centenario have had a long-lasting effect on the rum business. He is a merited recipient of this coveted honor because of his expertise and love for the brand, which has captured the hearts of rum connoisseurs.

Din Hassan of The Island Rum Company took third place with 375 votes, followed by Sergio Reyes of Don Q Rum in second with 406 votes. The rum community respects and admires these rum ambassadors for their extraordinary talent and commitment to their work.
