If they don't like the flavour then it's good for stripping doors and furniture.

If they do happen to like it and actually drink it (it has a very strange taste)...watch out for the hangover - it is mean!

If you want something local and authentic how about a bottle of tuba or lambanog.

Keep in mind that Lambanog (coconut distilled spirits) is evil stuff.  Drink in moderation.  It's smooth but packs a punch.

If you get a good lambanog, no head ache... I like the stuff...

There's a thread I made about "Lambanog"  Somewhere.

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. 

Buy them a bottle of red Horse and an electric fan. They will love you for it!

Don Papa Rum is popular, though I haven't had any.

I looked up Don Papa online, and I think this fits the bill perfectly.  More upscale than Tanduay, and distilled here in Visayas where I am.  Its only sold in a few places in the US, so I can be fairly confident the person I'm giving it to won't know much about it.
