Joseph Cartron Cacao Brun Liqueur 700 ml

Joseph Cartron Cacao Brun is a dark cocoa liqueur from the Burgundy house that has been making fruit and flower liqueurs at Nuits-Saint-Georges since 1882. Brown cacao means roasted rather than raw: the nose is dark chocolate and toasted nut, the palate carries bitter cocoa, coffee grounds and a restrained sweetness, and the finish is dry and slightly dusty rather than syrupy. That restraint is exactly what makes it useful behind a bar, where sweeter chocolate liqueurs tend to flatten a drink. Stir it into a brandy Alexander, add a bar spoon to an aged rum old fashioned, or pour it short over ice after dinner.
