AnnaBay Club Wins Two Double Gold Medals at San Francisco Competition
Curaçao-based rum producer AnnaBay Club has secured two Double Gold Medals at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition. The awards were granted to the company's Amber Rum and Aged 5 Year Rum.
AnnaBay Club, a rum producer based in Curaçao, has earned two Double Gold Medals at the 2026 San Francisco World Spirits Competition. The competition, organized by The Tasting Alliance, awards Double Gold only when every judge on a panel unanimously awards a spirit a Gold Medal in blind tasting.
The company entered three of its Curaçao Originals products into the competition. AnnaBay Club Amber Rum and AnnaBay Club Aged 5 Year Rum both received Double Gold Medals, scoring 98 and 97 points respectively. AnnaBay Club White Rum was awarded a Silver Medal. These accolades place rum from Curaçao alongside some of the world's most celebrated spirits.
"This is a very proud moment for us," said Christian Branum, Rum Maker and Managing Director at AnnaBay Club. "From the beginning, our ambition has been to create a family of rums that Curaçao could proudly call its own, and that would help put the island on the map. To get this kind of international recognition shows we're well on our way."
AnnaBay Club's rums are produced in Willemstad, Curaçao, drawing inspiration from the island's history, people, and lifestyle. The company emphasizes an additive-free approach, allowing the rum's inherent character and the influence of island maturation to be the focus.
The San Francisco results follow previous international medal wins for AnnaBay Club at The Spirits Business Rum & Cachaça Masters, further solidifying the producer's position in the premium rum market.
