Tanduay has long been known for its rich heritage and its place in the country’s drinking culture. Since the 1800s, it has produced bottle after bottle of rum that has become part of both big and small celebrations. Beyond the product, however, the brand has also been investing in something that is just as important. “Tanduay is very active in building appreciation for rum through grassroots engagement and education.
