Unctuous, syrupy thick, light molasses brown colour. Off the charts sweetness, with unequal amounts of cocao (two-thirds) and vanilla (one-third) fragrances in the opening aroma; the powdered cocoa comes to the forefront in the second inhalations, lusciously so.  Amazingly cocoa-like and buttery at entry; midpalate is spot-on dark chocolaty goodness, but neither bitter nor semisweet; it's just flat-out sweet.  The suggestions are to either throw in a splash of soda water for a digestif or utilise this gummy liqueur in cocktails that call for crème de cacao.

About the Producer

Tempus Fugit Spirits is dedicated to the glory of the well-made cocktail.  The goal is to source and re-create rare spirits and liqueurs from the pages of history to satisfy the demands of the most discerning connoisseur.  Along with the world’s finest absinthes, Tempus Fugit was determined to seek out fine rare spirits that were once staples in classic pre-Prohibition cocktails, which have been lost over time.  In most cases, Tempus Fugit recreated these liqueurs in-house using historic 19th century protocols, many cross-referenced in several languages, to arrive as close in taste to these forgotten spirits as is possible, or surpass them.  From rare fruit, flower and plant liqueurs to bitters, Amari, Vermouths and Chanati, Tempus Fugit prides itself in finding out what’s missing from the back bar of the most discerning bartenders.
