Tanduay Rum Overtakes Bacardi As World’s Best-Selling Rum

Tanduay Rum

Drinks International magazine published that based on 2017 sales figures, Tanduay has overtaken Bacardi as the world’s best-selling rum; in 2017, Tanduay sold 19.5 million 9L cases (vs. Bacardi’s 16.8 million) and showed 17% growth YOY.

Tanduay’s exceptional tradition in making rum dates back to 1854. The sugarcane fields are planted on volcanic soils in the Philippines’ humid sub-tropical climate and fed by pure spring waters, all of which contribute to Tanduay’s distinctive taste.

The rums destined to go into Tanduay Silver are aged for up to 5 years, while the rums destined for the Gold expression are aged up to 7, both in bourbon oak barrels. The company is currently aging approximately 120,000 200-liter barrels to meet future demand.
