  • Coffee Liqueurs
    Coffee liqueurs are often dark in color and tend to use real coffee in its creation. However, artificial flavors can be used. Often neutral spirits are used as the base but any liquor family can be used.

Tasting Notes

"The nose is a mix of green and roasted coffee beans and the sweetness can be detected on the nose. The palate is rich and full of very sweet coffee, but the rum note comes through on the finish. Would personally prefer it to be more bitter — it is very one note. "
