Kahlua Vanilla (75cl, 20%)

Kahlua Vanilla is a vanilla-forward coffee liqueur from Veracruz, Mexico, bottled at 20% ABV in a 750ml bottle. It builds on the Kahlua base of arabica coffee and sugarcane rum, with added vanilla flavouring for a sweeter, more dessert-oriented profile. The base spirit is sugarcane rum, infused with 100% arabica coffee beans, with vanilla layered over that coffee-rum foundation. The result emphasises creamy sweetness over the roasted bitterness of the original. On the nose, pronounced vanilla leads, followed by roasted coffee, caramel and a faint suggestion of brown sugar. The palate is creamy and sweet, with vanilla first, then arabica coffee, cocoa and a light molasses quality. The finish is medium, smooth and coating, with lingering vanilla and brown sugar tapering into a subtle baking spice note.
