Joe Riley Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 A blend of Cointreau orange liqueur with Cognac, and a walnut/almond element infused during distillation. Cointreau Noir Can't find a picture of it, but it looks like a normal Cointreau bottle only made of copper. Not cheap, around $60 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanMike Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 That sounds interesting - and I have to admit, unlike the guy who posted the article about it, I think the copper bottle idea is neat - but $60? Whew! I'd probably have to taste it to see if it's worth getting if you already have GM, Cointreau, Creole Shrubb... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeanMike Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 I tried this last night at CommonWealth. Short: It was really good. $60 good? I dunno. And I thought the bottle was AWESOME. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I almost picked-up a bottle at Cleveland Park Liquors last night. What did it taste like? Orange and nuts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanMike Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 I'm not the greatest taster in the world and didn't have that much. But to me, it tasted like a richer, smoother Cointreau. Much more of a "by itself" drink than a mixer - in some ways, the mouth feel and the taste of it reminded me a bit of Creole Shrubb. I didn't really notice any walnut taste to it, but I wasn't looking for it. I'd forgotten about that when I was entranced by the shiny bottle...

SeanMike Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 As mentioned other-where, I am an obsessive collector, so after seeing it on the shelf at VA ABC I bought a bottle at Ace. Errr, yeah... It's really very nice as an after dinner drink. It has a complexity to it that regular Cointreau lacks, I feel, but a kind of weird cloudy tan color when poured over ice that I felt detracted from the drink overall if you pay attention to such things. I don't know how it'd work as a mixer as it's almost - and I hesitate to say this word - too luxurious on its own. Maybe I'll mix it the Vizcaya rum...
