Tanduay Dark

I had not had rum for 30 years, I had had too many times on Bundaberg Rum from here in Queensland Australia.
Well my friend in the Philippines said try this, it is not like your usual that you are used to...
I totally enjoyed the rum & took as many bottles home with me as I could, I wish I could buy it here in Oz...
Looking forward to my next visit there...

I don't know what the complaining I'm reading is all about. Every bottle of Tanduay Dark I've purchased have all been VERY DRINKABLE, NOT HARSH TASTING, even when sipped straight; and I've NEVER had a problem the following morning. The absolute worst 'problem' I once had, if you could even CALL IT A PROBLEM was still being drunk the next morning. (To me that's a bonus!)

Of course this is not the same as something like Bacardi 8, nor should anyone expect it to be. But it's much better than most Rums I've purchased back home, AND for a fraction of the price! I mean less than $2 USD per Liter for something this good. Sorry, it's worth double or triple the price easily. Stop complaining and enjoy it - and don't forget the calamansi juice!

Tasty, slightly sweet but great over ice. Certainly has a difference aroma to western rums.

Was sitting in a friends cabinet for a few years. Alcohol bite immediately. Not a sipper.

I tried this rum when I was younger. I knew someone who could get a bottle for about $10-15, if I only I knew where to buy it now. I love this rum with lemonade

it is not the best I have ever tasted but has a wonderful flavour and punch. Most 80 proof alcohols are not very palatable when drinking neat, but with coke, Tanduay makes it one of the best drinks around - not overpowering, not oversweet, just a bloody good rum and coke. I wish was available overseas.

By itself it has a harsh alcohol taste to it, but it makes for a good mixer and is very, very cheap.

After a long day of backpacking accros the sugarcane fields of the Philippines, sit on the beach, crack open a fresh coconut and pour some Tanduay in it... trust me, it feels like heaven!
