This year, Viriathus Drinks is thus nominated for three awards! Plantation Rum Isle of Fiji and Giffard Liqueurs Syrups are in the TOP5 for Product of the Year, as is our own Rui D’Almeida nominated for Best Brand Ambassador!
Plantation Rum
Plantation Rum, known for being a brand of excellence and producing high quality rum, was created by Alexandre Gabriel in 1990. So he headed to the Caribbean to find the best rums and discovered the ideal recipe to produce Plantation Rum. In 2012, Alexandre was awarded Master Rum Blender of the year and was named Distiller of the year.
This delicious rum is produced and distributed by Maison Ferrand and appreciated by many enthusiasts around the world for its unique production process.
The brand offers a wide range of rums, each with a unique flavour. Some of the brand’s best known runs, are the Original Dark, the 20th Anniversary and the XO 20th Anniversary. Each of these products has won several awards for their quality and taste.
Giffard Liqueurs
Giffard Liqueurs has been produced by the French company Maison Giffard since 1885 in the Loire Valley region of France. It all started when Emile Giffard, a pharmacist, became interested in the properties of mint and the distillation of medicinal plants.
Giffard Liqueurs offers outstanding quality that includes selected herbs, fruits and spices to create unique products and experiences. Thus, this line has a variety of products from the most classic like Curaçao, to the most exotic like Creme de Banane.
In addition, the brand produces various syrups and bitters, which are used to add to other drinks. As such, Giffard Liqueurs has become a brand appreciated by bartenders and widely used for cocktails!
