The evolution of coffee and alcohol

Even though coffee is best known as the beverage to help you start the day and alcohol as the drink to cap off a long one, these two together have actually been a popular concoction for centuries. One reason for this popular match may be due to the stimulant properties of caffeine offsetting the sedative effects of alcohol, leaving instead a pleasant mix of alertness and relaxation.

It’s said that as early as 1795, the Swedes were mixing vodka and coffee, although the practice of combining coffee with wine can go as far back as 800 A.D. Nowadays, one of the best known mix of coffee and alcohol is the Irish Coffee, which had its start in the 1940s when a chef at Foynes Airport in Ireland served up coffee and whisky to passengers from a rerouted flight.

Nocturne Noir adds to this illustrious history of coffee spirits with our own unique process that marries the best of what coffee and alcohol have to offer.

By aging the premium quality European triple-grain eau de vie with the best “cherry-picked” Colombian Arabica coffee beans, we’ve created a unique coffee spirit of unparalleled smoothness, flavour, and body.

Colombian Arabica Coffee Beans

Coffee lovers may be familiar with the two types of coffee bean commonly grown for commercial consumption: Arabica and Robusta. There are many key differences between the two, from environment—Arabica grows well in higher altitudes while Robusta thrives in lower altitudes—to caffeine content—Robusta packs more caffeine than Arabica. Perhaps the most noticeable difference is their taste. Arabica beans tend to be slightly sweeter and softer, with much more depth and a varied expression of flavours. In contrast, Robusta bean tends to have a stronger, harsher, and more bitter taste. Because of this, most specialty coffee shops use Arabica beans exclusively, only adding Robusta in certain espresso blends for the caffeine boost. While both beans definitely have their own unique charms, we found after numerous tastings that Arabica coffee beans pair much better with our European eau de vie. Besides its smooth taste and aroma, Arabica’s mild caffeine content gives the right boost in alertness and energy to balance out the sedative effects of alcohol.

“Velvety mouth with natural style coffee tones evenly balanced through to lusciously long roasted finish.”
