About Tanduay

Tanduay is one of the most-awarded rum brands in the Philippines, receiving various local and interna-tional citations. In 2017, it was declared the World’s No. 1 Rum by Drinks International magazine. Tan-duay will hold this title for eight consecutive years.

Tanduay started out as a distillery in Hagonoy, Bulacan, a province in the island of Luzon known for its heroes and craftsmen. It changed ownership throughout the decades and has been under the Lucio Tan Group of Companies, Inc., one of the biggest conglomerates in the Philippines, since 1988.

Even as the years passed, Tanduay has maintained the traditional way of distilling its rums, a practice that started in its now decommissioned Manila distillery. It has likewise consistently maintained its prod-uct quality, ensuring that Filipinos and foreigners alike will enjoy the same taste and aroma of a Tanduay product wherever they are in the world.
