The Bitter Truth Golden Falernum is a flavorful rum-based spice liqueur from The Bitter Truth, the award-winning German craft house founded in Munich in 2006. Gold in color, taste, and texture — but never one-note — it is "a calypso of flavor": on the nose, fresh lime, seashell, and ginger with just a hint of Christmas; the taste carnivals from fresh ginger to vanilla and almond, surfing toward an atomic fireball, with allspice giving way to a splash of lime and a delicate hint of Bajan sweet-pepper-sauce heat. Falernum takes its name from the most expensive wine of ancient Rome; today's version — flavored with lime, almond, clove, and ginger — rose to prominence during the mid-century tiki era.
How to Use: Sippable neat or on ice, a great companion for aged whiskey, rum, and brandy — and indispensable in tiki drinks: the Corn 'n Oil, Royal Bermuda Yacht Club, Three Dots and a Dash, or as the sugar in a Daiquiri or Margarita.
ABV: 18% (36 Proof)
