Mr. Black Coffee Amaro

About Mr. Black

For some, coffee is more than caffeine. It’s a religion, a ritual, it’s culture. Many nations have their versions of coffee fortified with liquor, Italians have their caffè corretto (corrected coffee), in Spain and several Latin American countries you can order a carajillo, and adding Irish whiskey and sugar to coffee and topping it with cream gives you a delicious beverage called Irish coffee. When awarded-distiller Philip Moore and designer-turned-coffee-snob Tom Baker decided to put coffee and spirits together they wanted to inspire people to take their love of coffee into their evening drinks, and to care as much about coffee liqueur as they do about their morning cup.

Mr Black Roasters & Distillers was founded in 2013 and has since grown to encompass a team of over 30 roasters, distillers, baristas and fanatics, preaching the virtues of coffee after dark. At the coffee roastery and distillery just north of Sydney, Australia, each and every bottle of Mr Black coffee liqueur is made by hand. The roasters ethically source specialty coffee beans from the best growing regions to create complex spirits that are bold, balanced and unapologetically coffee. Using a proprietary cold brew process, the Head of Coffee, Detlef Mohr captures the flavors of the freshly roasted coffee in liquid form. This base is then turned into delicious liqueurs by Master Distiller Philip Moore.
