Ben Moore ?? Distilled and Blended ?? Well, go for Single malt Pare, skip Blend if possible ..
As for liquor, Filipinos can say fuck all, but they never learn to 'time manage' liquor. I was in one bar in Peurto, and Black Label taster like acid water .. and well, I insisted that I see the bottle .. and the bottle label look like 1950's label. They never dispose expired bottle, and keep it forever, as they believe, or taught in their HRM schools that Hard liquor never expires .. screw them .. hence I ask to see the bottle and if the label looks like it has lived through Vietnam War and Marcos Era, I give it a miss ..
As for Tanduay, at another bar, I ordered Mojito, and one sniff, I almost had to call the ambulance .. when I asked what was the rum, the staff said "rum" and then insisted that in his school, they said any rum is ok ..
I got the urge to shoot the bastard ..
Never use local rum, in cocktails, and nothing like Bacardi or any good coconut rum .. and never, for fxxxk sake, use TANDUAY TOILET BOWL SPIRIT ..
I know, beachside, sipping Mojito, and my evening was spoilt again in Bora .. when the same shit happened at Obama Grill ..
Damn .. I avoid cocktails at any filipino bar .. and premium - except in Manila / Havana / MBC, I am bit wary of ordering them in any third class bar ..
PS: Chief, 400 to 500 peso ? that is about 15 $ right ? How much do you think is the wholesale price of Liquor ??
Screw Duty Free .. but, if you are getting from a wholesale importer, they can get bottles at 22 S$ or so .. to 30 S$ .. then again, in Philippines, they use a lot of 375 ml bottles, and even bump of 200 ml bottles, so, small bottle at that price, yeah, possible ..
And never argue with filipinos, they will swear that there is 750 ml or 1 liter bottle .. and they have been all over the world (in terms of screwing guys from all over the world .. without leaving their home .. )
