Review: Ginebra San Miguel Anejo Dark Rum

Posted by Arctic Wolf on April 30, 2020

Tondena Distillers Limited were recently purchased by Ginebra San Miguel,a diversified beverage company majority-owned by San Miguel Corporation (SMC) located in the Philippines. In addition to rum, the company also makes, gin, vodka and light brandy as well as a variety of flavoured spirits.

Ginebra San Miguel Anejo Dark Rum does not appear on the producer’s website and I was unable to find much information regarding the brand. I suspect the rum was originally bottled as Tondena Distiller’s Anejo Dark Rum (the label is similar). The spirit appears to be in the midst of a re-branding and is now sold mainly in Taiwan.

The Ginebra Anejo Dark Rum sample I received was part of the 24 Days of Rum – The Original Rum Tasting Box from 1423 World Class Spirits. It is presented as a 5 Year Old Dark Rum, bottled at 40 % alcohol by volume.

Here is a link to my review with full tasting notes:

Review: Ginebra San Miguel Anejo Dark Rum

“… The breezes above the glass bring a surprising surge of oak with sweet butterscotch almond and vanilla which indicates that the age of the rum may indeed match the 5 Years declaration on the label. Oak spice, a touch of treacle and a welling of baking spices (vanilla, cinnamon and clove) rise into the air with roasted marshmallow, orange peel, marzipan and tobacco …”

Please enjoy my review which includes two cocktail suggestions, the Brooklynite, and the Dark Rum and Cola.

Chimo!

24 Days of Rum (#10) – Ginebra San Miguel Anejo Dark Rum (Philippines)

Posted by Arctic Wolf on December 10, 2019

Day 10 of the 24 Days of rum Advent Calendar brings us to Manila in the Philippines. Ginebra San Miguel Anejo Dark Rum was a very hard spirit to research. It appears to be a small production rum sold mainly into Taiwan. Possibly the rum is related to the spirit formerly known as Tondena Distiller’s Anejo Dark Rum (the label is similar).

I say this because Tondena Distillers Limited were recently purchased by Ginebra San Miguel, a diversified beverage company majority-owned by San Miguel Corporation (SMC) located in the Philippines. It would make sense that they would be re-branding some of the Tondena spirits as Ginebra San Miguel.

Here is a link to my tasting notes and scores for the tenth spirit in the 24 Days of Rum – The Original Rum Tasting Box:
