Tanduay has inaugurated an exclusive bar at the newly launched Philippine Airlines (PAL) Mabuhay Lounge in Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) Terminal 1.
Crafted by the renowned Atelier Almario, the PAL Mabuhay Lounge spans an expansive 1,200-square-meter area, accommodating 294 guests. Exclusively catering to PAL’s Business Class passengers with a valid boarding pass for the day and Mabuhay Miles Elite, Premier Elite, or Million Miler members, the lounge offers a sanctuary for relaxation and gourmet indulgence before international flights.
“The Tanduay Bar offers a selection of drinks that include some of the brand’s premium rums. Tanduay’s products are well-known among our guests, including our foreign passengers. So, having the Tanduay Bar helps further elevate the dining experience at the Mabuhay Lounge. We believe in providing an oasis for travelers, and the Tanduay Bar perfectly aligns with our vision. We offer them moments of relaxation amid the hustle and bustle of travel,” according to Emalyn Lira, Manager for Lounge Services at PAL. She has been with PAL for 39 years and currently oversees its domestic airport lounges.
Featuring panoramic views of the suburban Manila skyline, a dedicated plane spotting area, a tranquil relaxation zone, an exclusive Million Milers’ room, workstations, and a dining space serving delectable Filipino and international cuisines, the PAL Mabuhay Lounge ensures a luxurious pre-flight experience.
Adding to the allure, Tanduay has introduced a bespoke bar within the lounge, providing guests with a complimentary taste of their premium rums. The Tanduay Bar within the PAL Mabuhay Lounge offers a range of cocktails crafted with Tanduay’s renowned spirits, all available at no additional cost.
Notable concoctions include the Captain’s Punch featuring Tanduay Superior Rum, alongside classics such as Planters’ Punch, Cuba Libre, and Long Island made with the distinguished Tanduay Asian Rum Gold. The Tanduay White Rum takes center stage in the refreshing Mojito.
Bar Supervisor Jennifer Escaño, overseeing operations at the PAL Mabuhay Lounge Bar, revealed that the Tanduay Double Rum stands out as the most popular choice among patrons. Passengers, enthralled by the unique offerings, have particularly taken a liking to cocktails infused with various Tanduay rum variants.
