Aldi’s own brand rum crowned one of the best in the world – and it costs just £16.99
Last month, Lidl’s £13.49 whisky was voted the best Scotch in the world and in July last year, the Co-op won best vodka.
Now, it’s Aldi’s turn – the brand’s own label rum was tried and tested at the Spirits Business Rum Masters, a blind tasting competition where industry experts gave the Sea Dog Premium Spiced Rum a gold medal. The bottle costs just £16.99 – compare that to another gold winner, Ableforth’s Rumbillion! Navy-Strength which retails at almost three times that, at £45.
Aldi’s Sea Dog rum was selected for both price value, as well as taste with hints of sweet vanilla, spices, coffee and citrus lime.This isn’t the first time Aldi has beat competitors with more expensive spirits; last year, its £10 gin was voted better than Waitrose’s Heston Blumenthal bottle .
