This Mexican coffee-flavoured liqueur is based on 100% agave Patrón Tequila rather than neutral spirit, as is more commonly the case with coffee liqueurs.

Review and Tasting

Sampled on 10/11/2016

Appearance:

Clear, deep reddish-brown, almost black.

Aroma:

Pungent freshly roasted coffee beans, espresso and bitter chocolate with mild chilli pepper and black pepper.

Taste:

Initial slight syrupy sweetness is quickly overpowered by strong dry espresso, bitter dark chocolate and spicy tequila. Faint creamy vanilla.

Aftertaste:

Rich chocolate and coffee with lingering spice and faint menthol.

Overall:

Rich and intense with roasted coffee beans and espresso fortified with characterful tequila.
