The Bitter Truth Golden Falernum

Golden Falernum from The Bitter Truth is a rum-based liqueur rather than a straight rum, made in Germany and bottled at a low 18%. Falernum is a classic tiki and Caribbean cocktail ingredient, a sweet, spiced syrup-liqueur built around lime, clove, ginger and almond.

This is a bar tool first and foremost, the kind of bottle that brings spice and sweetness to a Corn'n'Oil, a Mai Tai or a zombie. Expect bright lime, warm clove and ginger and a nutty almond edge over gentle sweetness. It is not meant to be sipped neat, but it earns its place on any cocktail shelf.
