Tanduay Double Rum, 40%

Introduction

Tanduay Double Rum is a proud product from Tanduay Distillers, one of the Philippines’ most acclaimed distilleries, headquartered in Manila. With a long tradition of rum production on this tropical island, Tanduay has succeeded in crafting a rum that combines depth, complexity, and tropical character in a single bottle – and which is now being exported with great success to both the United States and Europe.

Production Method

• Ingredients: Made from sugarcane grown in the Philippines, where the tropical climate contributes a natural sweetness and fruitiness to the finished rum.
• Distillation Process: The rum is distilled at Tanduay Distillers’ facility in Manila, Philippines, with a focus on preserving the natural aromas and flavour characteristics of the raw ingredients.
• Maturation: A blend of rums aged for 16 and 5 years respectively, which are then combined and further matured in ex-bourbon casks for an additional two years, adding depth and a smooth, vanilla-tinged character.
• Special Techniques: The dual ageing strategy – combining a long-aged and a shorter-aged rum – creates a unique harmony and continuity of flavour from start to finish, giving the product its distinctive “double rum” profile.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Sweet and fruity with floral and citrus tones. Prominent notes of caramelised pineapple, toasted nuts, cherry, vanilla, and tropical fruits.
• Palate: Smooth and harmonious with a rich sweetness of caramelised pineapple and tropical fruits, complemented by toasted nuts, cherry, and vanilla, along with a hint of florals and citrus.
• Finish: Medium-dry finish with a pleasant and lingering warmth that reflects the rum’s complexity and careful maturation in bourbon casks.

Serving Suggestions

• Serving Temperature: Best enjoyed at room temperature (approx. 18–20°C) to highlight the rum’s full range of aromas and flavour notes.
• Glass Recommendation: A tulip-shaped nosing glass or a whisky Glencairn glass is recommended to concentrate the aromas and provide the best tasting experience.
• Serving Ideas: Tanduay Double Rum is best enjoyed neat or on the rocks, where its complexity and harmony can truly shine. It also works excellently as the base for classic rum cocktails such as an Old Fashioned or a Dark ‘n’ Stormy.
• Food Pairings: Pairs beautifully with dark chocolate, caramel desserts, toasted nuts, and tropical fruit dishes. It also complements bold cheeses and smoked meats.
