Filipino Ube Cream Liqueur — Purple Yam, Done Properly
Ube is the flavour Filipinos grow up with and the rest of the world is only now discovering. Distillera Barako built a cream liqueur around it: rich cream carrying the earthy, vanilla-adjacent sweetness of purple yam, at 17% ABV.
It is nostalgic and modern at once — and it is a genuinely Filipino product in a category dominated by Irish and Italian imports.
Tasting Notes
- Nose: Sweet vanilla cream with a subtle earthy ube aroma
- Palate: Silky and smooth, creamy texture with rich ube sweetness
- Finish: Light and lingering, dessert-like rather than heavy
How to Serve
Chilled or over ice, as a dessert drink. It also mixes well — an Ube White Russian or an Ube Martini both work, and pouring it over ice cream or pastries is the simplest use of all.
Storage note: refrigerate after opening and drink within a few months. Cream liqueurs are the one category of spirit that does not keep indefinitely.
