Barique: A Premium Filipino Lambanog from Quezon Province

Long before artisanal spirits and craft cocktails filled today’s bar menus, Filipinos were already sharing a homegrown drink steeped in tradition: lambanog. Distilled from coconut nectar and crafted across generations, lambanog has long been part of Filipino culture – passed around during celebrations, gatherings, and late-night conversations, serving as both a symbol of hospitality and a storyteller of our rural heritage. It is bold, shared, and unmistakably Filipino.

Today, this iconic spirit has taken a bold step.

Introducing Barique: Heritage-Crafted, Premium by Design

Barique, proudly made in Quezon Province, reimagines the lambanog for the modern Filipino celebrations. Upholding traditional distillation methods while applying today’s quality standards, Barique elevates the traditional coconut spirit into a premium, world-class liquor.

Smooth, sweet, and bold with a lingering warmth, Barique showcases what lambanog can become when craftsmanship, culture, and innovation come together.

Two variants offer distinct yet refined experiences:

● Barique Gold – 45% ABV, ₱3,999 (750 mL)

● Barique Silver – 40% ABV, ₱2,599 (750 mL)
