Tanduay Reaps International Recognitions
Tanduay, the Philippines’ top rhum maker, is capturing
palates of the world’s connoisseurs as it recently gathers prestigious
international awards.
The
major recognitions the brand received for its various products included: a gold award under the category Gold Rum
Premium for Tanduay Rum Gold from the Rum & Cachaça Masters 2018; a double
gold medal and best white rum citation for Tanduay Rum Silver from the San
Francisco World Spirits Competition 2018; a silver award for the Tanduay Rum
Gold also from the San Francisco World Spirits Competition 2018; another gold
and silver awards from Tastings of the Chicago-based Beverage Testing Institute
also for the Tanduay Rum Silver and Gold; and a Category Winner for Column
Still Rum from the World Rum Awards once again for Tanduay Rum Silver and Gold.
These award-giving bodies are among the most prestigious spirits competitions
in the world and recognized internationally as most influential in the spirits
industry.
All these achievements are borne
from Tanduay’s commitment to excellence and industry innovations under the
leadership of its Chairman, Dr. Lucio Tan. Only the finest ingredients make it
into each bottle of Tanduay rum and there is attention to detail at the
manufacturing stages, where stringent quality control is meticulously applied
at every step of the production process.
Since the acquisition of the
Tanduay brand by the Lucio Tan group 30 years ago, plant modernization and
expansion projects tremendously increased the distillery’s production capacity.
With an unmatched ageing facility that houses not less than 200,000 barrels of
aged reserves, Tanduay continues to produce one of the world’s finest rums.
Through the leadership of Tan’s
son and Tanduay president, Lucio “Bong” Tan, Jr., the company made a historic
expansion in the world arena. Tanduay made a strategic alliance with companies
in the United States to expand its distribution capacity. The company likewise
backed up its marketing efforts striking a two-year partnership deal with 2017
NBA Champion Golden State Warriors.
“We are proud to be recognized by
the world’s tastemakers and placed at par with international brands. We share
these achievements for Tanduay with our Filipino consumers, because it is
through their constant support for the brand that we have continued to reach
new heights over the past 30 years,” Bong Tan shares. He adds that as Tanduay
ensures the excellent quality of its flagship products, it is producing more
craft spirits, with the vision to grow the business in the international
market, strengthening their claim in the spirits categories all over the
world.
