TANDUAY won five medals from the Beverage Testing Institute as the brand’s Tanduay Asian Rum Gold topped the list with a gold medal.
One of Tanduay’s most awarded products and aged in used bourbon barrels for seven years, it is known for its smooth flavor with the richness of vanilla and notes of oak on its finish.
Silver medals were awarded to Tanduay Asian Rum Silver and Boracay Cappuccino Flavored Rum.
Tanduay Double Rum and Boracay Coconut Flavored Rum both received bronze medals.
Tanduay expressed gratitude to the farmers and distillers behind its products.
“This is good news not just for us but for the entire country as well, as our products are all proudly Philippine-made. During these challenging times, let us not forget what makes this country great and it’s our people. We raise a glass to our sugarcane farmers and distillers. Without them, Tanduay would not have perfected its process of creating the world’s number one rum and continued its success for more than 100 years,” said Paul Lim, vice president for Sales and Marketing at Tanduay.
