Some of the world's rarest cacao beans meet Dominican rum - the result smells more like a chocolate shop than a liquor cabinet.
Expert description
A. Michler Ron Espero Cocoa & Rum is a Rum Liqueur from the Dominican Republic bottled at 40%.
Espero Cocoa & Rum combines selected rum from the Dominican Republic with pure Criollo cacao beans. Criollo is considered one of the world's rarest and most sought-after cacao varieties, making up only around 3 to 5 percent of the total cacao market. The beans are preferred by artisan chocolate makers for their rich, complex aroma and smooth, almost bitterness-free flavour, and it is precisely that cacao character that carries the liqueur.
Behind the bottle is A. Michler, a rum brand with roots stretching back to the historic Albert Michler distillery, which has since become part of the wider Caribbean rum scene with a focus on flavoured liqueur releases alongside its more classic rum bottlings.
