Tanduay Heritage Rum (75cl, 40%)

Tanduay Heritage Rum is a Filipino dark rum from Tanduay Distillers, Inc., bottled at 40% ABV in a 750ml bottle. It is made from first-syrup A-grade molasses derived from heirloom sugarcane varieties, with fermentation using selected yeast strains and distillation combining column and pot still methods. The rum is matured in oak. On the nose there is warm molasses and dark caramel, followed by vanilla and a gentle waft of tropical fruit, with a subtle oak backbone and soft baking spice. The palate brings smooth caramel sweetness and rich molasses, then ripe banana and dried mango alongside warm vanilla, with dark sugarcane depth, toasted oak, cinnamon and clove. The finish is medium-long and warming, with lingering caramel, oak tannin and a faint tropical echo.
