Filipino craftsmanship in spirits was on full display at this year’s World Food Expo (WOFEX), where Tanduay presented a strong lineup of local and export products from March 27 to 29 at the World Trade Center in Pasay City.
Visitors to booths 716 and 717 were treated to a wide selection of Tanduay’s signature blends, ranging from its classic Heritage Rum and Double Rum to newer favorites like Ginto Barrel Aged Gin, Especia Spiced Rum, and Tanduay Select. The exclusive event deals gave both rum enthusiasts and curious guests a chance to sample the brand’s most sought-after products.
A major feature of Tanduay’s presence at the expo was a three-day mixology series, where some of the country’s most creative bartenders demonstrated new ways to enjoy the brand’s versatile spirits.
RJ Ramirez opened the series on March 27 with a lineup that fused local ingredients and familiar flavors, serving Kalabasa High, Mais con Yelo, and Gintonic—all crafted with Especia Spiced Rum, Asian Rum Gold, and Ginto.
The following day, Dondz Bolante offered a refreshing take on cocktail favorites. His creations—Watermelon Highball, Especia Sour, and Ginto Mule—blended innovation with approachability, using the same spirits in new ways.
Paulo Layao concluded the showcase on March 29 with Ginto Pomelo, Bayabuzz, and Rumchatta—drinks that highlighted the balance between boldness and smooth finish, drawing attention to the unique characteristics of Tanduay’s rum and gin.
