Description

• Coffee liqueur produced by Gruppo Caffo in Taranto, Italy
• Made primarily with arabica coffee with the addition of some robusta; coffee sourced from Ethiopia, Honduras, Brasil, and Uganda
• Coffee beans are roasted in Calabria in small batches by a local artisanal roaster
• Base distillate made from neutral grain
• Coffee beans are macerated in hot water and the infusion is blended with vanilla, cocoa, alcohol, and sugar beet sugar
• A lush nose of espresso and Mallomars leads to a mouth-coating palate of chocolate-covered espresso beans with pleasant acidity; nostalgic notes of Ferrero Pocket Coffee candies round out the finish
• 30% ABV

Italians take their coffee pretty seriously, and you need look no further for proof than this tried-and-true coffee liqueur. Confectionary enough to enjoy neat after dinner, but balanced enough for myriad cocktailing applications, no one would judge you for immediately shaking up a quintessential Espresso Martini.
