Aroma visualization from community tastings
Tanduay Gold
Opinions land in the middle here: fine as a mixer, shaky on its own. The nose pulls chocolate, caramel and a little dark fruit, sometimes even a whiff of coffee, but the palate turns thin, slightly bitter and a touch burnt for a few tasters. Others catch a sweet, nutty, almost sake-like edge. Most agree it's happiest in cola or a dark and stormy.
The community says- Chocolate-caramel nose
- But: Thin, slightly bitter
- But: Hot finish

How does Tanduay Gold taste?
Summarized by AI from community reviews.
Sweet, thin everyday mixing rum Middling verdict — most call it a decent mixing rum. Neat, it reads thin, a bit hot and oddly sweet, with the nose promising more than the palate gives.

Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
This is an excellent rum to make a dark and stormy. 5 cl rum 10 cl ginger beer 1 cl fresh lime juice Slice of lime for decoration
Review by Timo Groeger
Had actually expected worse, but this rum is just borderline for pure enjoyment. I think it has become too sweet. You can smell and taste chocolate and it somehow comes across as dark.
Review by X-Savior
On The Rocks: On the nose it is very mild with a light fruit, floral, spice and oak mixture with hints of Sake. Taste reveals a sweetness with stronger spice and oak notes with a reasonable alcohol presence. It feels oily as it coats your mouth. Finish is medium with a mild bitterness and a spice with mild oak notes. It is a little confusing and a very different rum overall. This might be better suited mixed or in a cocktail. Mixed Pepsi Zero: On the nose Dusty old Pepsi-Zero. Tastes like dusty old Pepsi Zero. There is a little underlying hint of that Sake-like flavour. Finish is short. Not really any more enjoyable mixed…

Top price performance rum for Cuba libre
Review by Schnapsschuesse
Fruit, wood, dark roasted aromas to coffee in the nose. I am impressed, I had expected less.In the mouth then unfortunately thin, edgy, slightly bitter and burnt. Huge discrepancy. After the back out's something scratchy. For long drinks, however, this can be quite fun.
Review by Kelvin Peeters
Rum with a nosing of whisky and first tast of bourbon and then little sweet rum taste
Review by MoMcGurk
Some hints of oak, but the burn overpowers it. Was not great mixed. A nice bottle design, but I’m not a big fan of screw tops.
Review by Pedro Jnv
At the start nicely fruity, ending alcoholic.
Review by Filip Heimerle
Average caramel rum, nothing special, no hit
Review by HypnoGoat
Decent enough for the price
Review by Jakob Deiner
Vanilla, wood, caramel and light fruit in the smell. In taste I have the fruity sweetness in the foreground, caramel and slightly vanilla rather toned down, almost no wood. Slight alcoholic sharpness on the finish. Drinks: - Neat: 3/5 - Rum Cola: 3/5

Read full review ›It adds a slight coconut/almond (again) note. Tanduay Gold Asian Rum isn't particularly expensive. So it may be worth a punt if you like a slightly "nutty" light rum. I do think there is something more going on here than just the original distillate and barrel ageing. Not bad per...
