-
Nose:
Great, rich nose. Pleasant coffee, dried fruit, cocoa.
-
Taste:
Thick viscosity. Boozy and tasty. Vodka brings some heat, but the coffee flavors largely drown out any ethanol notes. Espresso, vanilla, dark chocolate.
-
Finish:
Cocoa powder and espresso bean link up for a very enjoyable finish.
-
Overall:
The bottle recommends either drinking alone or shaken with milk. I tried it both ways. With milk is more of an espresso martini vibe; the color lightens up, and it’s a bit less boozy, but the bottle has enough quality and mouthfeel as is to enjoy without milk — so long as you’re OK with some burn. Overall, this is a tasty, boozy RTD cocktail — a great Espresso Martini with a rich mouthfeel and a luxurious flavor profile.
