Description

20% ABV / 500mL

This is an unashamedly sweet and intense coffee liqueur with a thick velvety texture. Designed specifically for mixing into caffeine-heavy cocktails at an accessible price point, this is a liqueur that packs in plenty of flavour for its relatively lower alcohol content.

To make it, we partnered with Small Batch Roasting Co in North Melbourne. They not only supply us with freshly roasted coffee beans, but also collect spent coffee grounds for us from their cafe. These spent coffee grounds are dumped straight from the coffee machine into a refrigerated container to keep as much flavour in as possible before we come and whisk it away.

We infuse the fresh and spent beans in spirit then add several generous handfuls of dried wattleseed to impart a nutty and slightly cacao-like flavour. The liqueur is left to infuse for over a month before being bottled.

Contains precisely 0.0% artificial colours, flavours and preservatives. Vegan friendly (we don't use any animal products nor processes throughout). Gluten free.

Tasting notes

On the nose you'll meet a fistful of dark roasted coffee as well as hints of earthy spices. A quick swirl opens up warm, playful woody undertones.

On the palate you'll be greeted with a sweet and intense wave of roasted coffee. A slight nuttiness from the wattleseed lingers in the background. After hanging around for a few seconds, this is replaced by a rising tide of fruity notes, almost lychee-like.

The finish is neither short nor prolonged - somewhere in the middle - with a slight hint of mint providing a refreshing, ever so slightly bitter lingering aftertaste.

Bottle refill and upcycling program

We take back empty bottles from our core liqueur range for refilling. These are usually collected from bars and restaurants. We're happy to take them back from retail customers too. If you've got several empty bottles and are able to drop them off at our distillery in Altona North 3025, then please get in touch. In return, we'll send you a discount code for a future purchase.

Our limited edition liqueurs are bottled in assorted old spirit bottles where possible. Between our lovely network of bars who help collect empty spirit bottles for us and the empty bottles that get spat out of our own tasting flight production line, we've managed to build up a locally sustainable supply of bottles. These bottles are given a "rough massage" to strip the labels off, then a hardcore hot rinse and a final polish up before being revived with a new liqueur filled life.
