BIG BRAIN MOMENT

Interesting facts & trivia from the Philippines culture & events community

Trivia Question

Answer: Destileria Limtuaco

Still running its operations until now, this Philippine distillery has aged like fine wine. It managed to build a museum in Intramuros that features its rich history and collection of different beverages like vodka, gin, rum and brandy. Connoisseurs and enthusiasts of spirits in the Philippines know and love its famous brands such as White Castle Whiskey and Empire Gin.

Interesting Culture Fact!

This was exactly a century before Carlos Yulo, the First Filipino man, brought home an Olympic gold. What makes this interesting as well is the fact that both the 1924 Olympics and the 2024 Olympics took place in Paris, France.
