Destileria Barako's Ube Cream Liqueur Hits Dan Murphy's Shelves Across Australia
Following a new national distribution agreement with 7000 Islands Drinks, Destileria Barako’s award-winning Ube Cream Liqueur is now available in Australia. The unique spirit can be purchased in New South Wales, the Australian Capital Territory, and online nationwide through Dan Murphy's.
A Taste of the Philippines
The liqueur is crafted from distinctly Filipino ingredients:
- Ube (purple yam) sourced from Bohol.
- Sugar cane spirit from Negros.
- Coconut husk from Mindanao.
"Very earthy, subtly sweet kind of vanilla"
Siggy Bacani, owner of 7000 Islands Drinks, explained the flavor profile to help Australian consumers understand the ingredient. The drink has already garnered multiple industry awards.
Market Trajectory
The Australian Financial Review has drawn a parallel between the growing popularity of ube in Australia and the trajectory of matcha, suggesting the purple yam is poised to become a staple ingredient in the local market.
