This product starts life as classic Mr. Black coffee & spirit infusion, before being placed in some very unique and special barrels. The folks over at Illegal Mezcal in Oaxaca, Mexico had been experimenting with aging mezcal in oak, which of course piqued the interest of Mr. Black. After resting the coffee liqueur in ex-mezcal casks they added in a touch of Ilegal Joven Mezcal.
The final blend brings notes of nutmeg, spice and roasted agave, alongside Mr Black’s signature Arabica coffee flavour. The mezcal adds deep complexity to the liqueur, making this one a winner for contemplative sipping.
Quality is consistent. Deeper bouquet and flavor than most Cali Zins. The Earth tones come thru beautifully about two years from Vintage. Wonderful
Red to contemplate on its own or with good food.
chianti at a good price- good value for everyday drinking
Not quite in same class as recent chianti from Wine Direct released earlier this year-but also half the price. Excellent value for a red wine: you don't have to worry about finding a superior food to match at this excellent price.
Hard pushed to find a NZ red at this price/quality ratio!
