This designer coffee liqueur is distinguished by its delicately formulated blend from the first extract of select coffee beans, brewed using naturally balanced mineral water mixed with caramelized cane sugar and the finest spirit to achieve a 25% alcohol per volume or 50 proof mélange. It is aged to create a symphony of essences and aromas to easily identify the base flavor of our liqueur. It possesses a smooth and lingering mouthfeel, and the alcohol has mellowed enough to lose its harshness while keeping the warm feeling in your throat as you sip.
Flavor Notes: Dark roast coffee, dark chocolate, a hint of wood, and vanilla with a round, honeyed finish.
ALDIO Coffee Liqueur is made from single harvest Batangas Kapeng Barako beans. It is handpicked from the branches at the ideal ripeness and roasted to bring out its unique character perfected by the provinceʼs centuries-old Barako coffee drinking tradition. In the 1740s, Spanish Franciscan monks brought the first coffee plant to the Philippines which was planted in Lipa, Batangas. Natural selection and centuries of acclimatization which was nurtured by its rich volcanic soils gave birth to the specialty coffee Batangas Kapeng Barako (c. liberica). Distinguished by its full-bodied flavor and chocolaty aroma, the coffee is listed in the Ark of Taste international catalog of endangered heritage foods by the Slow Food movement.
