Kahlúa Sips Chocolate (75cl, 16%)

A rum-based coffee and chocolate liqueur from Veracruz, Mexico, produced by Pernod Ricard and bottled at 16% ABV in a 750 ml format. It blends real cocoa with Kahlúa's arabica coffee base, and earned 93 points at the 2024 New York International Spirits Competition. The core liquid starts with 100% arabica coffee beans grown in shade plantations across four remote farming communities in Veracruz; the beans rest with rum spirits for four weeks. The aroma leads with deep cocoa, then roasted arabica coffee and brown sugar, with gentle warmth from the rum base. The palate is rich, sweet and velvety chocolate, tempered by bold coffee, with a smooth, almost creamy texture. The finish lingers with dark chocolate and subtle coffee bitterness, rounded by vanilla and caramelized sugar.
