Tanduay’s premium rums were awarded five medals at the inaugural Miami Global Spirits Awards (MGSA), with Tanduay Asian Rum Silver receiving a gold medal and being declared the Best White/Aged Under 6 Years Rum. Silver medals were awarded to Tanduay Asian Rum Gold, Tanduay 10-Year Old Rum, and Tanduay Double Rum, and a bronze medal to Tanduay Especia Spiced Rum.
“As we expand our presence in different parts of the world, these awards serve as an affirmation of the quality and craftsmanship that go into every bottle of Tanduay. We are proud to showcase Filipino excellence wherever we may be in the world, and we remain committed to producing rums that reflect our heritage and innovation,” said Tanduay International Business Development Manager Roy Kristoffer Sumang
The MGSA, held for the first time this year in Sunny Isles, Florida, brought together industry experts to evaluate a wide range of spirits from across the globe. The panel of judges included distilled spirits professionals, journalists, trade experts, and influential buyers who did a double-blind judging process to ensure impartiality.
With Tanduay’s multiple medals, the brand further reinforces its position as one of the top rum producers in the world and highlights the increasing international recognition for Philippine-made spirits.
Tanduay’s continued success in international competitions also mirrors its growing footprint outside of the Philippines. The company currently has presence in major markets around the world, including Armenia, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Costa Rica, Czech Republic, Georgia, Germany, Hungary, Luxembourg, Malta, New Zealand, People’s Republic of China, Peru, Poland, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, the Netherlands, United Arab Emirates, United States, and United Kingdom. Recently, it was also declared the World’s Number 1 Rum for the eighth consecutive year.
“Each award serves as a motivation for us to raise the bar even higher and continue making rums that Filipinos can be truly proud of. We may have been in the industry for more than a hundred years now, but our journey is far from over,” Sumang said.
