Destileria Barako's award-winning Ube Cream Liqueur is now available across Australia through Dan Murphy's after securing a national distribution agreement.
Key Points
- The distribution deal with 7000 Islands Drinks places the Filipino craft spirit on shelves across New South Wales, the Australian Capital Territory, and online nationwide.
- The multi-award-winning liqueur is crafted using genuine ube from Bohol, sugar cane spirit from Negros, and coconut husk from Mindanao.
- Filipino ube is transitioning from a niche food trend to a mainstream global flavor, with the Australian Financial Review comparing its trajectory to the rise of matcha.
When explaining ube to the wider Australian community, I never start with the ingredients. Our gastronomy expresses ube quite differently, so I always describe it in terms of taste instead. The closest description I've found that resonates with Australians is that it's a very earthy, subtly sweet kind of vanilla.Siggy Bacani, 7000 Islands Owner
