Dark Cacao
26% ABV / 500mL
This Dark Cacao Liqueur is a bittersweet concoction of organic fermented cacao, a selection of earthy roots and a good measure of tangy yet floral lilly pillies.
Made right here in our distillery, we designed Dark Cacao to be sipped neat as a digestif, ideally next to a roaring fireplace and accompanied by a couple of squares of dark couverture chocolate.
To make it, we source and macerate cacao grown by one of our geographical neighbours, the Philippines. Pre-fermented to bring out all that chocolatey goodness, we then leave the maceration for a month while giving it a gentle stir at regular intervals until the aroma becomes unbearably enticing. To this we add several infusions of bitter roots for a lingering bitterness and a handful of native lilly pillies (riberries) to lend a floral note. Finally, we add a decent lick of dark sugar to bind everything together with a velvety texture.
We use real ingredients throughout and deliberately avoid filtering the liqueur to ensure no flavour is filtered out, so you may notice some sediment and oils that may drift out of the liqueur over time. Simply give your bottle a quick shake and all will be normal again!

I'm a very happy customer - the liquors are a clear winner (especially the Hazelnut liquor!). Delivery was fast and easy
I'm still formulating an opinion on the dark cacao but the banana liqueur is simply worth writing home about. Liquid banana bread just begging for a banana-colada. The dark Cacao isn't my taste to drink by itself, will have to try in a cocktail or two but haven't gotten around to it because every time I've reached in the liquor cabinet it's been for the banana liqueur.
Fantastic addition to my espresso martinis - will buy again! Also thanks for the super quick postage!
Service was excellent. Product was well wrapped. Product is a gift so hasn’t been tasted yet
Bought these for my hubby- he loved them & he can’t wait to try some of the other flavours!
Chocolate-y and smooth, it's great
Delicious just on it's own over ice. Spectacular when added to a home made creamy hot chocolate .......
Would make a wonderful Affogato.
This is a delicious tipple - if you like bitter, dark chocolate you will like this!
Naked Dark Cacao is good over ice and even better over ice cream! We haven't had an opportunity to experiment further as we're still working our way through our Possum gin subscription but it's likely to be a versatile addition to the spirits cabinet.
Loves this. There is definitely the "chocolate" flavor coming through, but complemented by the amaro-type flavours and so not overpowered by the cacao. Went great in a negroni
A perfect digestif, slightly sweet but slightly bitter. I’ve tried it neat over ice and will try mixed as a martini next and enjoy exploring the flavor combinations. As always beautiful bottling and quick delivery.
