Mr Black

Born in Australia, Mr Black is not just a coffee liqueur—it's a bold expression of craftsmanship and obsession with excellence. Founded in 2013 by designer Tom Baker and distiller Philip Moore, the brand’s mission was to bring craft coffee into the world of spirits. Unlike overly sweet liqueurs, Mr Black delivers a rich, nuanced experience that bridges the worlds of specialty coffee and fine spirits. Every bottle celebrates the culture of coffee, making it a staple for bartenders and coffee lovers around the globe.

Craftsmanship and Distillation

Mr Black is crafted using ethically sourced, 100% Arabica beans from top-tier producers worldwide, including Colombia, Kenya, and Papua New Guinea. These beans are roasted in-house using a custom-built coffee roaster to bring out their optimal flavor profile. After cold extraction—a meticulous 12–16 hour process that preserves the delicate notes of the beans—the coffee is blended with Australian wheat vodka. The result is a liqueur that retains the integrity of fresh coffee while delivering a silky, spirit-forward balance.

Aroma & Bouquet

From the first pour, Mr Black captivates with a deep and complex aroma. The bouquet is rich in fresh espresso, cacao, dark chocolate, and a hint of caramelized nuts. Its aromatic profile is vibrant yet layered, providing a preview of the depth to come. It’s a coffee lover’s dream, refined into a bottle.

Smooth & Finish

Mr Black’s texture is elegant—velvety and well-rounded. The taste is bold and bittersweet, with intense coffee flavors unfolding into subtle vanilla, toffee, and dark fruit tones. It finishes clean with a gentle warmth, making it enjoyable neat, over ice, or as the heart of a sophisticated cocktail.

Awards and Recognition

Over the years, Mr Black has become a darling of global spirits competitions. It has earned multiple gold medals from the San Francisco World Spirits Competition and high ratings from international judges for its authenticity, innovation, and clarity of flavor. Its popularity among bartenders has led to global collaborations and a strong presence in top cocktail bars worldwide.

Who Is It For?

Mr Black is crafted for discerning palates—those who appreciate specialty coffee and artisanal spirits alike. Whether you’re a cocktail aficionado, a home mixologist, or someone who enjoys a quality digestif, Mr Black is your go-to. It’s also ideal for those seeking a lower-sugar, more complex alternative to traditional coffee liqueurs.
