In an international and antipodean collaboration between the state of Vermont, USA and Sydney, Australia comes a rye whiskey barrel aged coffee liqueur. Mr. Black X Whistle Pig Barrel Aged Coffee Liqueur is the creation of stunning pairing of Mr. Black Coffee and Whistle Pig Rye Whiskey. This liqueur pairs well with your morning or dessert coffee and when concocting mixed drinks. This is a must try for those who love the flavor of coffee with a kick of rye spice.
The Liqueur
Mr. Black Barrel Aged Coffee Liqueur is an interesting blend of coffee and whiskey. This highlights the pairing of coffee flavor often with mixed drinks, meals, and desserts. Mixing it with my morning coffee only enhanced my experience. Mr. Black Barrel Aged Coffee Liqueur is aged 9 months in Whistle Pig Rye barrels, bottled at 28% ABV.
Color: Black
The nose is full of freshly brewed coffee notes with a nice spice rye mixture ending with some oakiness. The Palate is much of the same, with a heavy coffee note. The rye spice acts as a nice balance to the coffee. The finish is long and warming, especially when mixed with my morning coffee.
The Price
The MSRP for Mr. Black X Whistle Pig Barrel Aged Coffee Liqueur is $59.
