Tanduay Double Rum

Tanduay Double Rum is the premium blend from Tanduay Distillers, the Manila rum house founded in 1854 that describes itself as the second-largest-selling rum brand in the world. Tanduay's rums are distilled from Negros sugarcane, the cane grown on Negros Island in the central Philippines, in a five-column process, and the house blends each expression from a set of individually aged rums. Double Rum takes that further: a 16-year-old premium rum is married with a 5-year-old traditional rum, and the blend is then put back into once-used bourbon barrels for a further two years before bottling at 80 proof (40% ABV) in a 750ml bottle, which is where the double in the name comes from. It is a dark, burnt-amber rum and unmistakably sweet in the Filipino style, and it earned a rare A grade from Drinkhacker, which found heavy grilled pineapple, mango and citrus over a slightly funky molasses note on the nose, pineapple cooked in butter and sugar until caramelized on the palate with vanilla, baking spice and flambéed banana, and a finish of brown sugar and a touch of maple syrup. Sip it neat or over a large cube; it also makes a rich, fruit-forward Old Fashioned.
