Dedication to Quality and Craftsmanship

“This award highlights the dedication behind Tanduay rums, from selecting quality heirloom sugarcane to the intricate aging and packaging process,” shares Roy Kristoffer Sumang, Tanduay’s International Business Development Manager. He emphasizes Tanduay’s commitment to delivering the finest Filipino rum to its customers worldwide.

Award-Winning Flavor and Smoothness

The Tanduay Asian Rum Silver is no stranger to accolades. It previously earned a double gold medal at The Fifty Best’s Best White Rum Awards in New York (2020) and a gold medal at the RumXP International Tasting Competition during the Rum Renaissance Festival (2014).

It’s crafted to be enjoyed on its own or as a versatile cocktail ingredient.

A Landmark Year for Tanduay

“This year’s award holds special meaning as Tanduay celebrates 170 years of heritage and innovation,” adds Sumang, expressing gratitude for the recognition at San Diego Spirits Festival.

Expanding Global Reach for Tanduay Rum
