About Bandoeng’22
Bandoeng’22 is a Dutch liqueur brand with Indonesian roots. We create distinctive liqueurs inspired by the flavors, ingredients and traditions of Indonesia, bringing together our Dutch-Indonesian heritage with Dutch distilling craftsmanship.
What started with our Spiced Pandan Liqueur has grown into a broader flavor journey. With Spiced Tamarind as our second liqueur, we continue to explore the remarkable flavors Indonesia has to offer, translating them into contemporary liqueurs made for today’s bars, restaurants and curious drinkers around the world.
Our story
It started with a flavor we knew
Bandoeng’22 grew from a shared passion for Indonesian flavors, hospitality and the world of spirits. As founders with strong connections to both the Netherlands and Indonesia, we wanted to create something that reflected that shared world in a contemporary way.
We started with pandan, a flavor deeply connected to Southeast Asian food culture and familiar from desserts, drinks and family kitchens. In 2019, that idea became Bandoeng’22 (Spiced) Pandan Liqueur.
But pandan also showed us something bigger: there is an extraordinary world of Indonesian flavors still waiting to be discovered by bartenders and consumers outside Southeast Asia. Spiced Tamarind became our next chapter, and our journey continues.

The Team
The why
Our Mission
Our mission is to introduce distinctive Indonesian flavors to a wider audience through contemporary liqueurs with character, heritage and purpose.
By combining Indonesian inspiration with Dutch craftsmanship, we want to give bartenders, chefs and consumers new flavors to discover, experiment with and enjoy, while sharing the stories and traditions that inspired them.
Looking ahead
Our Vision
We want Bandoeng’22 to become an internationally recognized liqueur brand, known for bringing distinctive Indonesian flavors into modern drinking culture.
Our ambition is to build a family of liqueurs with their own individual character, connected by one Bandoeng’22 signature: Indonesian roots, unexpected flavors, Dutch craftsmanship and a natural place in contemporary hospitality.
Our liqueurs
Two flavors. One signature.
Our journey started with the aromatic character of pandan and continues with the bold sweet-and-sour complexity of tamarind. Two very different Indonesian flavors, translated into contemporary liqueurs with their own personality.
Pandan Liqueur is aromatic, warm and comforting, with layers of pandan, vanilla, nuts and Indonesian spices. Spiced Tamarind Liqueur is vibrant and adventurous, balancing sweet, sour, spicy and savory around the rich character of tamarind. Both connected by Bandoeng’22.

Backed by believers
Funded by the crowd
Bandoeng’22 has been community-backed from the start. Our first crowdfunding campaign in 2019 helped turn an idea into our first bottles of Spiced Pandan Liqueur. In 2026, our community stepped up again, helping us launch Spiced Tamarind Liqueur and take Bandoeng’22 into its next chapter.
For us, their support is more than funding. It shows that people believe in what we are building and want to be part of the journey.
Growing internationally
From Holland to the world
Our current growth is focused particularly on the Netherlands, Germany and the United States, while we continue to develop Bandoeng’22 with partners in other international markets.
We may be growing across borders, but our approach remains personal: building relationships, sharing our story and letting people discover Bandoeng’22 one glass at a time.
Layers of flavor
Rempah philosophy
That idea is at the heart of how we create at Bandoeng’22. Whether it is the warm aromatic character surrounding pandan or the interplay of sweet, sour, spicy and savory in Spiced Tamarind, we look for layers rather than a single dominant note.
For us, Rempah is more than an ingredient list. It is a way of thinking about flavor, rooted in Indonesia and translated into every Bandoeng’22 liqueur.
