Sagada Cellar Door White Rum is born high in the mountains of the Philippines, where cool air, misty mornings, and rich local sugarcane come together in quiet perfection. Crafted by hand in small batches, this rum reflects the spirit of Sagada itself: pure, untamed, and deeply Filipino. The first taste feels like a journey through the Cordilleras, fresh, earthy, and alive with character.
