Tanduay Sauternes Cask Finished Philippine Rum 70 cl / 42%

Tanduay, the world's best-selling rum brand by volume, shows a different side here, where Filipino rum is finished in casks from the French sweet wine Sauternes.

Expert Description

Tanduay Sauternes Cask Finished is a Filipino Rum, finished in Sauternes casks, bottled at 42%.

The rum is produced by Tanduay Distillers in the Philippines, a distillery with roots dating back to 1854 and today one of the world's largest rum producers. This release differs from Tanduay's more accessible expressions like Silver and Gold by undergoing a finishing period in casks that previously held Sauternes, a French sweet wine from the Bordeaux region known for its honeyed sweetness and notes of apricot and honey. The casks add an extra layer of fruit sweetness and complexity to the rum.

The result is a full-bodied, sweet rum, where honey and dried apricot meet the rum's classic caramel base in a long, smooth finish.
