MANILA, Philippines - Premium Craft Distillers Inc., a licensed world-class distiller of liquor and spirits has ventured into crafting a fine spirit that pays homage to Philippine roots with the first extra premium lambanog in the market.
The extra premium lambanog is called Lakan – a title to nobility, given to a warrior ruler. It symbolizes the character and strength of this fine liquor.
Spirity but sweet to the nose, with a jammy fruit and vanilla taste to the palate, Lakan has a long and smooth finish; subtle yet austere and complex.
Inspired by the centuries-old distilling of coconut nectar into liquor practiced all throughout the islands, Philippine Distillers Inc. has perfected the traditional process into a sophisticated craft which has brought life to a spirit that is in a class of its own.
Lakan is distilled from pure coconut nectar that ferments on its own without the need for additives resulting in a 90 proof work of art that is best taken neat. Additionally Lakan is a product registered with the FDA with a CPR.
CEO of Philippine Craft Distillers Inc., Anthony C. Manguiat states “We are excited to be launching a product that showcases that true Filipino spirits are world class. We have craft distilled a lambanog that is meant to be enjoyed by the discriminating global citizen.”
Lakan is ready to show that craft distilling lambanog to the highest standards can create a complex and exquisite flavor that is ready for the discerning tastes of the world.
“Lakan extra premium lambanog will be launched on Oct. 8, 6 p.m. at Salon de Ning, Manila Peninsula.
