The Tanduay Gold Asian Rum offers a flavour profile which is familiar to any rum drinker, yet at the same time it perhaps features a hint of the exotic with respect to fruit and spices which makes the rum somewhat unique as well. The overall flavour features a subtle, but welcome departure, from the flavour profile of the typical Caribbean Rums which are more prevalent in North America. Please do not misunderstand, the nuances are minor, and the Tanduay Rum is definitely at home on my bar shelf beside the other rums.
