The dark side of coffee.
Mr. Black is the original cold press coffee liqueur
- a bitter, intense spirit & coffee creation not intended for the weak of mind or faint of heart. A unique drop that embodies Australia's progressive coffee culture & our unrelenting pursuit of steel ground, cold extracted, caffeinated perfection.
Bitter, bold, & impeccably balanced, Mr. Black isn't everyone's cup of tea. In fact, if you're after a cup of tea,
you're in the wrong place entirely. Mr. Black is dark blend of pure Australian grain spirit & three specialty coffees from three unique origins, chosen for their aroma, flavour & finish.
It took 9 months & over 240 trials to create Mr. Black, a devilishly dark liquor with a bold coffee kick. This exceptional spirit is ground & cold-pressed by hand in tiny batches of 300 at our very small distillery on the Central Coast of New South Wales.
Single origin arabica beans are sourced from Papua New Guinea, Ethiopia, & Brazil. Each bean is roasted to exact specifications to ensure correct caramelisation & flavour profile.
Mr. Black is cold infused, cold pressed & unfiltered to ensure the flavours & aromas reflect the character & provenance of the coffee beans.
Colour: Black.
Aroma: Overwhelming fresh espresso.
Body: Bitter yet balanced, Chocolate & caramel. Fine citrus edge.
Finish: Toffee. Marmalade. Coffee 'til the end.
Think of Mr Black as cocktail-ketchup for dark spirits & stirred cocktails. It makes a number of classic cocktails better; think a Negroni made with Mr Black; a Black Old Fashioned or blend Mr Black 50:50 with whisky, mezcal, tequila or rum for a small demonstration of what coffee can bring to mixed drinks.
