Tanduay had a 17% sales increase in the past year, making it one of only three rum brands in Drink International Magazine’s The Millionaires Club, to record a growth in 2020. Three million cases were added to its sales from the previous year, propelling it to the World’s Number 1 Rum ranking for the fourth consecutive year.
“To contextualize the harsh trading environment for rum throughout the pandemic, just three brands in our list saw a rise in sales in 2020 compared to six in the previous year. However, this downwards curve further highlights the extraordinary results for Tanduay, achieved through the company’s aggressive export strategy,” stated Drinks International Magazine.
It noted that 2020 has been “one of the most challenging years on all fronts in recent history, and the global spirits industry has suffered greatly under the strangehold of COVID-19.” Citing Euromonitor International, it added that global spirits consumption fell by around 8.5%, or around 200 million 9-liter cases fewer, in 2020 compared to the previous year.
For the rankings, Drinks International Magazine collected accurate data on 155 million-case brands from public company reports and requested results. It then calculated growth from the actual volume data supplied.
In the same issue, Drinks International Magazine also shared the key trends in the industry in the past year: the surge in the ready-to-drink market, e-commerce, and the development of low/no alternatives.
“We are truly grateful to our customers here and abroad for their patronage of our products. We are also very thankful to our hardworking team for continuing and strengthening our research and marketing efforts. Our international partners have also been crucial to our success in the most recent years,” said Tanduay President and CEO Lucio Tan III.
Tan added that this year’s recognition is more meaningful for the company. “Not only were we able to retain our number 1 position but we did so during a year filled with challenges,” he said.

I only trust Tanduay. I have been drinking it for more than 10 years now. Proud Pinoy here!
I”m not surprised it won again. Tanduay is absolutely the best rum out there. It’s so good.
Tanduay is my favorite rum of all time! It’s the only one I drink. From the first time I tried it, I knew I didn’t need any other brand.
This post has put Tanduay on the map for me. I look forward to trying it as it is obviously the most popular overall. Will ask for it by name when next ordering rum.
This is a rum I need to seek out. I know several brand names, but not this one until now.
I shall certainly pass this on to my son. I think that he will be quite interested.
Ohhh this is something I need to go buy! Thanks for sharing!
I am loyal to another brand, the one with a “light” variety. Now, I am having second thoughts. Maybe I will switch brand.
Tanduay is quite possibly the most well-loved rum brand by many Pinoys. It combines excellent quality and affordability, that’s probably why.
Congratulations on the win! I guess I thought more rum would have been purchased during the pandemic as people sat and home and had a few cocktails. I don’t drink rum but I will let my hubby see this.
No doubt Tanduay did it again! It is a great rum for its price!
Congratulations are in order for you all at Tanduay! It’s no mean feat retaining your pole position in this industry!
Wow, that’s great news, and Congratulations on the 4th consecutive win!
Event suffered greatly under the stronghold of COVID-19, Tanduay still number 1 position. Congrats!
Researched this and looks like it’s a big brand. Congratulations and yeah, even big companies suffered the global pandemic.
Congratulations Tanduay.. What a great milestone for this company! Despite the challenges brought by the pandemic, they managed to stay on top of the game. Cheers!
I’m a teetotaller, so I can not comment much on rum. However, it’s an interesting story about the product and company. I learnt a few new things.
Tanduay has built its reputation all throughout the Philippines and i couldnt agree more on this award.
Sounds like they have worked hard to achieve success. I haven’t tried this product but I will have to check it out.
Wow 4th consecutive win in a row that definitely deserves a hearty congratulations and a big cheers!!
