Tempus Fugit Creme de Cacao

Sweetness and powdered cocoa dominate the nose, followed by amazing cocoa and butter on entry, with a midpalate that lands spot on dark chocolate, neither bitter nor overly sweet.

This crème de cacao follows an original formula calling specifically for cacao from Venezuela and vanilla from Mexico, the two terroirs period recipes consistently named as ideal. Raw cacao is distilled, then the distillate is macerated with additional cacao and crushed whole vanilla bean, a two step process that naturally colors the liqueur a rich brown without any added coloring.
