Review Date: 02/2016Made with Venezuelan cacao and Mexican vanilla, this complex take on a staple liqueur is ruddy in the glass and flavorful with cocoa powder, almond, vanilla and a touch of hazelnut richness on the long finish. Viscous and slightly too thick for straight-up sipping, this is a tasty upgrade for cocktails. Based on a 19th-century recipe. *Top 100 Spirits of 2016* (KN)

Notes
Another exemplary effort from Tempus Fugit. Nothing on the market comes close to the amazing and authentic flavors exhibited here. Even the high-end French producers settle for using mint extracts rather than fresh mint, but Tempus refuses to compromise. This has fresh spearmint and peppermint as well as a host of botanicals to provide depth. Distilled from winter wheat to 193 proof, then macerated with the herbs for supreme concentration.
