Notes - A joint project between Master Distiller Bepi Tosolini and Illy Coffee. Basically the Illy Espresso Liqueur a sweetened, alcoholic Espresso! The Illy is a dark brown, viscous liquid and has a smokey nose with aromas of bitter chocolate, coffee and cocoa notes. On the palate it is sweet but with a little dryness and a touch of bitterness. Far superior to Tia Maria. Try it on its own, over ice or match it with chocolate puddings. It also makes a mean Espresso Martini!
