St. George NOLA Coffee Liqueur is a rich, dark-roasted coffee liqueur with depth, character, and sophistication. It pays homage to New Orleans-style chicory coffee, blending Ethiopian Yirgacheffe beans, chicory, and vanilla to create something bold, flavorful, and balanced. At 25% ABV, its sweet and smooth enough for cocktails, yet complex enough to sip neat or on ice.

Origins & Composition

Feature Detail Producer St. George Spirits, Alameda, California. ABV / Proof 25% ABV Bottle Size 750 ml Key Ingredients Ethiopian Yirgacheffe coffee beans (medium-to-dark roast), French chicory root, Madagascar vanilla, and cane sugar Process Notes Beans roasted locally (by Jewel Box Coffee Roasters), cold-infused to preserve delicate aromas and minimize harshness; blended with chicory and vanilla; lightly sweetened.

Tasting Profile

Sensor Notes Nose / Aroma Deep dark-roast coffee, smoky roast edges, vanilla, a hint of chocolate and earthy chicory bitterness. Palate / Taste Roasted coffee flavor carries front-and-center, complemented by vanilla sweetness, nutty / hazelnut moments, slight bitter-chicory undertone, and dark chocolate / plum tones. Finish Lingering coffee bitterness softened by sweet vanilla; taste of dark roast remains, with depth but not overwhelming harshness.

Strengths & What Its Good For

• Very strong, bold coffee character that feels more genuine and nuanced than many mass-market coffee liqueurs.

• Good balance: you get bitterness from roast & chicory, sweetness from sugar & vanilla, and fruit / berry hints from the Yirgacheffe bean.

• Works well neat or on the rocks, not just in dessert cocktails flexible for many occasions.

• Offers something different for those who like their coffee liqueur more dark, more roast, less syrupy.
