Borghetti Caffé Espresso (75cl, 25%)

An Italian coffee liqueur bottled at 25% ABV in a 750ml bottle, made exclusively from real roasted coffee beans steeped in grain-neutral spirit. It is produced under Fratelli Branca Distillerie and built from three blends of Arabica and Robusta coffee beans sourced from roasters across northern, central and southern Italy. The liqueur follows a strict no-additives approach: no coffee aromas, chocolate extracts or artificial flavourings are introduced. The coffee blends are steeped in grain-neutral alcohol, then blended and sweetened with sugar and nothing else. The aroma is dominated by deep, heavily roasted coffee, followed by cacao and a faint wisp of smoke, with subtle walnut and toasted biscuit. The palate opens with bittersweet full-roast espresso, with dark chocolate and hickory mid-palate. The finish is medium-long, with lingering milk chocolate, milky coffee sweetness and a faintly nutty quality, anchored by dry roasted bitterness.
