TanduayAsianRumSilver(700mL)

<p>A surprising Asian Rum with a butterscotch flavor profile that’s far more than “silver.”</p><p>The original distillery that would become Tanduay was founded in <em>Hagonoy, Philippines</em>, in <em>1854</em>. Let’s just say that record-keeping in the Philippines was problematic at the time. But we do know that there was a series of mergers and acquisitions and primary distillation was moved to <em>Manila</em> in the early 1900s and the grandchildren of the original known managers reacquired the distillery and brand through their <em>Elizalde & Company, Inc.</em> The business continued to flourish, becoming a <em>beloved producer </em>of Rums and other Spirits in the Philippines. The mammoth LT Group purchased the entire operation in 1988, which still produces some of <em>the most popular Spirits</em> in Southeast Asia. </p><p>When you taste and review as many Rums as we do, you can get a little jaded. But when we sampled <em>Tanduay Asian Rum Silver</em> we knew it was something a different. First, get past the word “Silver.”</p><p>Most of the time in the world of Rum — and Tequila for that matter — “silver” means <em>un-aged Spirit </em>straight from the stills. But with Tanduay Asian Rum Silver you can see that it is not perfectly clear. It has an almost <em>Champaign color</em>. And this is not “fake color aging.” This Rum is actually a blend of Asian Rums aged for five years in <em>refill ex-Bourbon barrels</em>. It’s won a <em>slew of awards</em> and is one of two signature Tanduay Rums used to break into the US market.</p>
