Kahlua Cinnamon Spice reviewAs we originally about Kahlúa Cinnamon Spice, we are now reviewing it on BourbonBlog.com.

It was inspired by the traditional Mexican Coffee “Café de Olla” – which blends coffee, cinnamon, brown sugar (piloncillo), and is served in an ‘olla’ a traditional earthenware.

Quite lovely on the rocks and perfect for holiday cocktails like the ones listed below. The cinnamon spice tastes more authentic with the real cinnamon flavors than many liqueurs and spirits.

Kahlúa Cinnamon Spice Review

Distillery: Kahlúa, Veracruz, Mexico – Pernod Ricard USA

Proof: 90 Proof, 45% ABV

Color: Deep cola with some transparency

Nose: Buttery, brown sugar. The coffee takes the background

Taste: Enters fairly light with cinnamon and coffe notes, becomes a bit heavier mid-palette but not cloying. Brown sugar, molasses, butter, and cinnamon
