So we had a talk with WeFunder under the belief that we weren't being shown to the platform's 2mil+ investors. This, obviously massively disheartening, as we believe we have maybe the most award-winning (well even spirit, let alone rum) product, and an incredible journey and original, authentic story. WF's people said we needed to post in updates more, which had never been told to us. This is a first time for us in the CF space, and if updates are important, then get ready for updates!Here's the first question in update land. Island Company won every single award around the globe the last 3 years. Literally every single major award show. I don't know of any spirit that has accomplished this, let alone a rum. Here's the recent list if you aren't aware of our success:MASTER Award - Best Gold ULTRA-Premium Rum – Rum & Cachaca Masters ‘242024 Innovation Award – SIP AwardsSilver Medal - Best Gold ULTRA-Premium Rum – Rum & Cachaca Masters ‘23Gold Medal - Best Rum – Las Vegas Proof Awards Best Gold Rum – Caribbean Rum Awards (5 years in row)Silver Medal – Global Luxury MastersGold Medal – Travel Retail Masters Silver Medal – USA Spirit RatingsBest Gold Rum – Bonaire Rum Week Best Rum – Bartender Spirits Awards Best Rum – London Spirits CompetitionDOUBLE GOLD -Best Gold Rum - SIP AwardsBest Bottle Design - SIP AwardsBest Gold/Dark Rum - San Francisco World Spirits CompetitionBest Design - San Francisco World Spirits CompetitionBest Rum - New York Int'l Spirits CompetitionBest Rum Under 8 years - New York Int'l Spirits CompetitionBest Gold Rum - World Beverage CompetitionBest Design - World Beverage CompetitionBest Light Rum - World Spirits AwardBest Taste - World Rum AwardsBest Design - World Rum AwardsI think you'd have to be blind to not see that every single judge in all the major competitions found ICR to be best in class, and we couldn't be prouder.BUT...we are being asked by (currently) the London Spirit Awards, Bartender Awards and Sip Awards to pay and compete again. BUT...if we've already won, the top, top spots, Master Awards, an Innovator Award at SIP, is there really anything for us to gain... these award shows are expensive.So our ask of our fans, what do you think? Must we continue to prove ourselves...I'm not sure it matters. Look at that list of history. I think just winning Caribbean Rum Awards 5 years in a row... serious stuff!Ok, happy to be in the forum, and we are running TV ads soon and have a lot of social to contribute here as well. Hopefully you all are following us on IG and Facebook @islandcompanyrum.~SpencerCreative Director / Founder
