Rating: 7/23 I must have missed this on the rack last time I was at Total Wine picking up a bottle of Kahlúa Especial and any other coffee liqueur I could find to compare with my parents' recently discovered late 80s/early 90s Kahlúa. N: It smells more like coffee than Vita Divine Coffee does. It smells less like it than Kahlúa does though. I get mainly some chemicals, then a vague richness of something that could be coffee. There's something kind of vegetal and earthy. It's kind of sweet, also kind of light. I can already tell that this won't be very good P: Actually, I get a vague amount of rich, bitter, astringency at the beginning, as well as a hint of tropical fruit...and then sweet, young, impure spirit comes in. And the chemicals. Also, all of the chalky confectioner's sugar of regular Kahlúa. This is absolutely just regular Kahlúa but worse. It's sort of like somebody was trying to make something that might have been coffee liqueur out of rum and then they spilled some sort of soap or industrial cleaner in it. I mean, it isn't harsh and it could probably be disguised by ice cream or something, but it's pretty bad. It's fairly syrupy, but not incredibly rich. F: That confectioner's sugar lingers, along with some bitter chemicals and maybe some sort of coffee syrup. Maybe some maple. It's bad. It might be a bit cheaper than Kahlúa, but it's worse. The alcohol chemicals are less present than in Vita Divine and also some more richness. Still, it's bad. We're talking an 8 at best here, but more likely a 6 or 7. I think a 7 is most appropriate. Do avoid.
