Before craft spirits and modern cocktails became popular on today’s bar menus, Filipinos were already enjoying a traditional drink close to home: lambanog. Distilled from coconut nectar and perfected over generations, lambanog has long been part of Filipino culture—shared during celebrations, gatherings, and late-night conversations. It represents both hospitality and the stories of our rural heritage. It is bold, familiar, and proudly Filipino.
Today, this beloved local spirit steps into a new chapter.
Introducing Barique: Traditionally Rooted, Premium by Design
Proudly crafted in Quezon Province, Barique brings a fresh take to classic lambanog for today’s Filipino celebrations. By honoring time-tested distillation practices while integrating modern quality standards, Barique transforms the well-known coconut spirit into a refined, world-class liquor.
Smooth, sweet, and boldly warm, Barique highlights what lambanog can become when craftsmanship, culture, and innovation come together.
It is available in two refined variants:
- Barique Gold – 45% ABV, ₱3,999 (750 mL)
- Barique Silver – 40% ABV, ₱2,599 (750 mL)
A Spirit Fit for Today’s Lifestyle
Although delightful when sipped neat, Barique was designed to shine in contemporary cocktail culture. Its clean and elegant profile works beautifully in tropical mixes, elevated island-inspired drinks, or modern twists on classics like the old-fashioned or gin fizz.
Its bold yet silky character also pairs naturally with food, making it a standout choice for Filipino dining. From grilled seafood to crispy pork dishes and rich coconut-based specialties, Barique’s warmth enhances flavors and elevates any meal.
“Barique is more than a drink—it’s a sophisticated expression of Filipino heritage. We aim to honor lambanog’s deep cultural roots while introducing a polished version that fits today’s more diverse and discerning market,” said Maura Pasciolco, General Manager of Pacificroots Coconut Products Manufacturing. ⸻
Celebrating Filipino Craftsmanship and Innovation
Barique expands the lineup of locally made products from Quezon, produced by Pacificroots Coconut Products Manufacturing, a subsidiary of Pasciolco Agri Ventures—the same company behind the well-known Quezon’s Best products.
As Quezon is the birthplace of lambanog, Barique represents local pride and creativity. It preserves the drink’s cultural identity while elevating it through world-class distillation and sanitation standards, ensuring safety, refinement, and consistent quality.
“By offering Barique at a more accessible price point, more Filipinos can now discover and appreciate the craftsmanship behind their very own lambanog,” added Lito Pasciolco, owner of Pacificroots Coconut Products Manufacturing.
A Tribute to Tradition
With each bottle, Barique encourages Filipinos to honor both their heritage and the dynamic spirit of modern Filipino living. Whether served during intimate gatherings, big celebrations, or given as a meaningful gift for life’s milestones, Barique is a proud testament that world-class spirits can be crafted in the Philippines.
Barique is now available online through quezonsbest.com and Lazada, and will soon be offered on Shopee and select retail stores nationwide, including S&R, Landers, and Marketplace.
