Tempus Fugit Crème de Cacao Liqueur

Tempus Fugit Crème de Cacao is the chocolate liqueur that made serious bartenders throw out everything else in the crème de cacao category — a Five Stars Highest Recommendation from F. Paul Pacult's Spirit Journal, named a Wine Enthusiast Top 100 Spirit of 2016, and called "the best I've tasted, period" by one of the most respected palates in the American spirits industry. The K&L Spirits Buyer summed it up perfectly: "Try a Stinger — it might change your life." Based on a 19th-century recipe cross-referenced in both English and French, Tempus Fugit approached this with the same terroir obsession they apply to every expression in their lineup — identifying that the finest historical crème de cacao used Venezuelan cacao and Mexican vanilla specifically, then sourcing those exact origins rather than settling for commodity alternatives. Venezuelan cacao is distilled raw, the distillate then macerated with additional cacao and crushed whole vanilla bean — a two-stage process that builds extraordinary depth and naturally colors the liqueur medium brown without any artificial coloring. The nose is off the charts — powdered cocoa, vanilla, and beaniness in overwhelming abundance — while the palate is amazingly cocoa-like and buttery at entry, midpalate spot-on dark chocolate, neither bitter nor semisweet but perfectly balanced, finishing with cocoa powder, almond, hazelnut richness, and lingering vanilla. Unctuous and syrupy with viscosity that coats the glass. Bottled at 24% ABV. The Grasshopper and Brandy Alexander of your life start here.
