Every brand has a reason for being. Bandoeng’22 began with a simple but meaningful idea: what if there were a liqueur that could bring the flavors of Asia into cocktails, desserts, and even coffee in a refined and modern way?

That idea became Bandoeng’22 Pandan Liqueur, a premium liqueur inspired by Indonesian heritage, crafted in the Netherlands, and created to share the aroma, flavor, and story of pandan with a wider audience.

Rooted in heritage

Bandoeng’22 is deeply rooted in our Dutch-Indonesian background. We grew up with the rich aromas and layered flavors of the Indonesian kitchen, where herbs and spices play an essential role in everyday cooking as well as special occasions.

At the heart of that culinary world is rempah, the traditional combination of spices and aromatics that gives Indonesian food its warmth, fragrance, and depth. For us, rempah is more than a collection of ingredients. It is part of memory, family, identity, and heritage.

Those flavors shaped the way we think about taste. They also inspired us to create something that could capture that same feeling in a bottle.

Why we chose pandan

Pandan is one of the most distinctive and beloved flavors in Southeast Asian food culture. It is known for its fragrant aroma and unique profile, often described as soft, floral, slightly nutty, and gently vanilla-like.

In many Asian kitchens, pandan is used in desserts, drinks, rice dishes, and sweets. It is familiar, comforting, and instantly recognizable to those who grew up with it. At the same time, it still feels new and intriguing to many people outside Asia.

That is exactly what makes pandan so special. It has deep cultural roots, but it also offers something fresh and distinctive in modern cocktails and desserts.

From Indonesian inspiration to Dutch craftsmanship

With Bandoeng’22, we wanted to translate the flavor of pandan into a premium liqueur that felt authentic, versatile, and contemporary. We combined inspiration from Indonesian flavors with the precision and quality of Dutch distilling craftsmanship.

The result is a liqueur with the signature aroma and character of pandan, layered with warm spice notes such as cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, and nutmeg. Together, these elements create a profile that feels expressive, smooth, and highly versatile.

Bandoeng’22 can be enjoyed in cocktails, desserts, coffee serves, and other creative pairings, making it more than just a liqueur. It is a bridge between tradition and modern use.

Why the name Bandoeng’22?

The name Bandoeng’22 is a tribute to the city of Bandung on the island of Java. We use the old Dutch spelling, “Bandoeng,” as a nod to history and heritage.

Bandung has long been a place of cultural richness, creativity, and culinary character. For us, the name reflects more than geography. It represents roots, story, and identity. It connects the liqueur to the Indonesian inspiration behind the brand and to the broader world of flavor that shaped it.

More than a product

Bandoeng’22 was never meant to be just another bottle on the shelf. From the beginning, it was about sharing a flavor story. It was about creating something that felt personal, distinctive, and meaningful.

We created Bandoeng’22:

• to honor our roots
• to celebrate Southeast Asian flavor
• to bring rempah-inspired taste to a wider audience
• to offer bartenders, chefs, and consumers a new source of inspiration

Every serve of Bandoeng’22 carries that purpose forward, whether it is poured into a cocktail, used in a dessert, or enjoyed in a creative after-dinner drink.

A pandan liqueur with versatility

One of the things that makes Bandoeng’22 unique is its versatility. Pandan naturally works well with citrus, coconut, coffee, vanilla, chocolate, and warm spices. That opens the door to a wide range of applications.

Bandoeng’22 can bring an Asian twist to classic cocktails, add aromatic depth to modern serves, and enhance desserts with a flavor that feels both elegant and unexpected. It is a liqueur for bartenders, food lovers, and anyone who enjoys discovering something distinctive.

Crafted to connect cultures and flavors

Bandoeng’22 brings together two worlds: Indonesian inspiration and Dutch craftsmanship. It is rooted in the flavors we grew up with, while being designed for today’s bars, restaurants, and home serves.

That balance is central to who we are. We wanted to create a liqueur that feels true to its heritage, but also open, modern, and accessible. A liqueur that invites people to discover pandan in a way that feels natural and exciting.
