Tasting Notes
"Similar in hue to a cup of brewed coffee, Grand Brulot has a similarly distinct bitter aroma to a sweetened cup of joe. Hints of vanilla, bitter orange and chocolate also come through on the nose. On the palate, it's potent—even slightly medicinal—at first and coffee flavors take second place to vanilla notes. But the more you sip and savor, the more the liqueur evolves to showcase the underlying richness of its cognac base."
