Spices from the forests of Visayas and Mindanao meet seven-year cask-aged rum from Panay region sugar cane in this spiced Philippine take on Tanduay's classic style.
Expert Description
Tanduay Especia is a Philippine Rum-based Spirit Drink aged up to 7 years in American oak and infused with cinnamon, vanilla, cloves and orange, bottled at 40%.
