Coffee Liqueur | Mammoth Distilling

INSPIRED BY OUR LOCAL COFFEE ROASTERS

“When we’re not drinking whiskey, we’re probably drinking coffee. In fact, we love coffee almost as much as we love our spirits! After years of tinkering with a coffee liqueur—from brewing techniques and bean sources, to roast levels, grind size and a many other minute variables—until we arrived at this perfectly balanced combination of very strong coffee concentrate, corn spirit and pure cane sugar. It’s bold and complex, full-flavored and nuanced, not too bitter or sweet and with zero filler.”

What is Coffee Liqueur?

Coffee liqueur is an invigorating blend of coffee, distilled spirits, and sugar. While the range in quality of coffee liqueurs varies considerably, we spent years finding the perfect combination of beans, roast, sweetness and finish (we take coffee and spirits very seriously). Enjoy our coffee liqueur as a delicious pick me up in a morning cup of coffee, an after dinner digestif, in a favorite cocktail or simply sipped on ice.

TASTING NOTES

Espresso dark in color, with aromas of coffee, chocolate, and vanilla. Deep, roasted coffee notes are balanced with vanilla and a mellow bitterness complemented by a hint of sweetness and a lingering, clean finish.

From Coffee Beans to Cold Brew to 48-Proof Liqueur

The foundation of Mammoth coffee liqueur is our custom cold-brewed coffee concentrate made with beans sourced from a variety of regions, locally roasted to our exacting specifications, coarsely ground and steeped in cold water for roughly 24–36 hours. The desired flavor intensity is achieved using a ratio of one pound of roasted coffee grounds for every two gallons of Torch Lake water. The resulting coffee concentrate is closer to espresso than coffee, with a deep, rich flavor but less acidity.

Before we fortify the cold-brew coffee concentrate, it gets lightly sweetened with pure cane sugar (because of the polarity, sugar does not dissolve in 190-proof alcohol). Next, we blend in the 190-proof grain spirit until the proper finished proof of 24% ABV has been achieved, and tweak the sweetness as necessary by adding a little more sugar after fortification. To soften the palate and round out the finish, Madagascar vanilla beans are steeped in the liqueur for about 24 hours as the final step in our process.
