Tempus Fugit Crème de Cacao à la Vanille (75cl, 24%)

A cacao and vanilla liqueur built from a 19th-century recipe using Venezuelan cacao and Mexican vanilla, produced by Tempus Fugit Spirits in California. Production begins by distilling raw Venezuelan cacao, then macerating the distillate with additional cacao and crushed whole Mexican vanilla bean; no artificial colour is added. Aroma: intense powdered cocoa, pronounced sweetness, subtle vanilla bean undertones. Taste: cocoa and butter, unctuous syrupy texture, dark chocolate, almond and hazelnut. Finish: long and flavourful, with lingering cocoa powder, vanilla and hazelnut richness.
