Marvin Boggs Posted November 2, 2019 Posted November 2, 2019 Hi all, I'm not much of a drinker, but I want to pick out a good bottle of something to give to a relative at Christmas. (assuming wife can get a visa this year for us to travel). I had it in mind to give him something 'authentic', i.e. distilled in PH if possible. Rum, whiskey, whatever, but not wine or beer. I have no idea what spirits Philippines is known for. I figure you'll have some good recommendations. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy F. Posted November 2, 2019 Posted November 2, 2019 (edited) The Tanduay Silver rum is very good imho, but I'm far from being an expert. I only use a shot or 2 to help me sleep. The headache-later problem seems much diminished compared to other hard liquor. Edited November 2, 2019 by Guy F. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum Support Old55 Posted November 2, 2019 Forum Support Posted November 2, 2019 I’ve brought back Tanduay 18 year in the past for friends who drink liquor. They were pleased with it. We looked for some last November and couldn’t find any. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDDavao II Posted November 2, 2019 Posted November 2, 2019 Don Papa Rum is popular, though I haven't had any. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary D Posted November 2, 2019 Posted November 2, 2019 If you want something local and authentic how about a bottle of tuba or lambanog. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howard Posted November 3, 2019 Posted November 3, 2019 I've brought back regular Tanduay Rum and people were happy with it. I don't think they sell it in the states so it's a novelty. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
