I am trying to buy a bottle of Falernum for a paltry sum less than 20 quid yet having a ton of money in three different accounts one card after another does the impossible and fails authentication. Clearly that can’t happen when in my wife’s HSBC account there are £000s and in mine and in my account at BAC in Costa. Rica.
Can you please help?

Very pleased to pick up a bottle of this rather special Falernum today and thanks so much to Paloma for making us feel so welcome. :-)

Bob and I have been working with a trusted third-party producer to make larger batches as the volumes we’re selling are greater than Bob, who is set up to produce small bottles of bitters, can produce. In the meantime, Bob has been working on one last special batch with a very characterful rum. Should be ready very soon and will be a super falernum. Please bear with us.

Hi Patrick. We’ll have a very special batch anvailble imminently and then our regular Falernum (still incredible stuff) shortly. Please see my comment which I intended as a reply to your question.

I live in Dubai and can’t get this. Any substitute you would recommend

You could try and make your own by infusing spices in rum and then adding sugar syrup.

hello, do you know how to get it in France please?

Presently only available in UK due to small hand-crafted production and issues with shipping alcohol across borders.

hello, thinking of using this in a banana peel rum, coffee grounds liqueur and espresso based cocktail. What do you think? It's going to be served to a few hundred people at the London Coffee Festival. What do you think? And are almonds used for infusion (would we need to let people know re allergy?)

Sounds delicious. There are no almonds in our Falernum, or indeed other allergens.

Looking forward to trying, but two questions when will it be in stock and do you ship to Northern Ireland? Thanks

Hi Conor, we're back in stock although I'm sorry to say that we're not currently able to ship alcohol to Northern Ireland.

I just ordered one to try. "Any larger than [35cl] is too big for such a product" - well I guess the UK falernum market is probably quite niche, but for tiki bartenders/enthusiasts one can never have too much falernum!

No question the best Falernum I’ve ever tasted. Any plans for a larger bottle in future?

Bob deals in small bottles but if he's happy to go huge, then sometime in the future a 35cl bottle would be great. Think any larger is too big for such a product.

Hello Simon, this looks amazing.

I notice that it’s 18%. Does that mean it can be kept indefinitely, unlike many falernums that need to be refrigerated and used within 6 months?

Indefinity is a very long time! However, we made 18% to have enough alcohol to be shelf-stable after opening at room temperature. Oxygenation will degrade the flavour over time but it will not be affected by mould etc which can spoil those with less alcohol.

Unsurprisingly brilliant! Perfectly balanced. Intense spice, warmth, sweetness and acidity. Combined in a Brooklyn's Finest it's genuinely superb. Kudos Simon, Paloma... & Bob!

Many thanks for your kind words Alex. Bob always gets what I'm after and then knocks it out the park.

Hi Lasse, it’s available to purchase now from our UK shop. Sadly not able to ship alcohol overseas.
