The distillery also started developing Philippine craft spirits in the 2000s, which are meant to be souvenirs. The distillery began developing its craft spirits after company president Olivia Limpe-Aw often receives request from buyers for "something distinctly Filipino" when executives join business junkets abroad. The first of the distillery's craft spirits was the Paradise Mango Rum introduced in 2002, which initially had poor domestic reception due to expectations that locally produced alcohol should be cheap. The product eventually gained traction as a pasalubong or gift of Filipinos for their foreign friends due to its bottle design.
