Vicario Coffee Liqueur

Vicario is the husband-and-wife liqueur house of Renato Vicario and Janette Wesley, who have made spirits since 2014 split between two organic farms, one in his native Tuscany, named The Garden of Earthly Delights after the Bosch painting on their labels, and one in Greer, South Carolina, where they run a licensed micro-distillery and tasting room. Vicario grew up in a Piedmont winemaking family and wrote Italian Liqueurs: History and Art of a Creation, published in 2011 by the Aboca Museum in Tuscany; the brand grew out of that book, and the recipes follow the old Italian maceration methods with minimal filtration and most of the fruit, herbs, and spices grown on the couple's own farms. The coffee liqueur was the one he didn't want to make, figuring the world had enough of them, until a New York distributor kept asking; it became the company's best seller. It's built on coffee beans with complementary botanicals and bottled at 31% ABV (62 proof), well above the 20% of mass-market coffee liqueurs, and it's noticeably less sweet and more spirit-forward than those, so it carries an Espresso Martini without the drink going syrupy, and it works neat after dinner.
