On Barbados, as on many Caribbean islands, sugarcane cultivation led to the development of rum distillation and the compounding of rum-based liqueurs. The signature liqueur of Barbados is known the world over as a versatile sweetener for all kinds of drinks. "Falernum," a local slang term for "punch," denotes a rich concoction of the local rum, sugar, and island spices such as clove, ginger and lime. A little bitter almond brings all the flavors together. Haus Alpenz is proud to represent Barbados’s most famous Falernum.

Falernum is indigenous to Barbados, where Velvet Falernum is a longtime staple item of its many resorts and bars. The sweetness, spice and almond character of this rum-based liqueur provides weight and texture to classic rum and wine punches. Today, Falernum is a staple for tropical drinks such as swizzles, Zombies, and other Tiki drinks. Try the island favorite with 2 parts aged rum, 3 dashes Angostura and a squeeze of lime. Add to wine and orange juice for a quick, delicious Sangria. John D Taylor’s Velvet Falernum is considered by many as the original Falernum, and is today produced by famed rum distiller R.L.
