Tasting Notes

Imagine visiting a streetside cafe in Mexico City.

You order a hot chocolate, but what they bring you is nothing like what your mom used to make. It’s spicy, with a kick of chili and a tingly cinnamon finish running through its fudgy depths. A dollop of whipped cream cools the spice and makes for a creamy finish.

That’s what it’s like to sip bourbon barrel aged Infinite Wishes: Mexican Hot Chocolate. Except, with a touch of whiskey caramel flavor on the finish and a bold 13.7% ABV, this brew is better than any cup of cocoa.

strong bourbon and wood flavor start. faint chocolate when left sit on tongue and then a stronger chocolate after taste. very nice. could probably make this into a nice mixer.
