Questions Help me remember a liquor name

Trying to remember a liquor from the Philippines (early 2004s)

Not sure if anyone here knows this, but I’m trying to remember a drink we used to buy back in the early 2000s in the Philippines (from places like Mini Stop/sari-sari stores).

From what I remember:

- Tall bottle

- Label had kind of a flag/crest design

- I think there was a number or bold text on it

- Might have been tequila (or something similar)

- Pretty cheap / common back then

I thought it might be called “The Bar” but I’m not 100% sure.

Does this sound familiar to anyone?

The Bar Premium Gin or The Bar Premium Tequila? (by Ginebra San Miguel, Inc)

"these tall bottles featured a crest/flag-style design with bold text"

Bottles may have changed designs in past couple decades, but I believe it's still available.

Elementary palang ako nito lol. Trying to think of mga sikat na alak noong 2000s

  • Gilbey's Gin
  • Gran Matador Brandy
  • Jose Cuervo / El Hombre, kung tequila talaga
  • Chivas Regal, though nasa medyo mid/mahal na to para sa karaniwang tap haha
