Paranubes Café de Olla Licor
- Origin: Sierra Mazateca, Oaxaca, Mexico
- Producer: Master Distiller José Luis Carrera ABV: 28%
Paranubes Café de Olla Licor is a liquid tribute to the ancestral Oaxacan tradition of café de olla—coffee brewed in clay pots with unrefined sugar and spices. Far from a standard coffee liqueur, this spirit begins with the distillery’s acclaimed Paranubes Rum (Aguardiente de Caña), a high-proof, wild-fermented cane juice rum produced in the cloud forests of the Sierra Mazateca.
To create the liqueur, Master Distiller José Luis Carrera blends this grassy, agricultural rum with a cold-brew extract of locally grown Oaxacan coffee. It is then infused with a complex botanical bill including Ceylon cinnamon, wild Oaxacan vanilla, avocado leaf, and rosita de cacao. In a final step unique to this production, the liqueur is rested in red Oaxacan clay vessels, imparting the authentic "earthy" finish that defines a true café de olla.
Tasting Notes
- Appearance: Deep, opaque mahogany with reddish amber hues.
- Aroma (Nose):
- Primary: Intense, freshly roasted coffee bean and warm piloncillo (unrefined brown sugar).
- Secondary: Distinct notes of cinnamon bark and dark chocolate.
- Tertiary: Underlying hints of fresh green sugar cane and a subtle savory herbal quality (avocado leaf) that cuts through the sweetness.
- Palate: Texture: Velvety and rich, but surprisingly balanced—avoiding the cloying syrupiness of mass-market coffee liqueurs.
- Flavor: A bold collision of dark roast coffee and the grassy, vegetal funk of the base rum. Mid-palate waves of baking spice, toasted cacao, and vanilla bean emerge, supported by the emulsifying depth of sarsaparilla.
- Finish: Long and warming. The sweetness fades to reveal a sophisticated lingering spice, a touch of minerality from the clay resting, and a final whisper of dry espresso.
Serving Suggestions
- Neat: Serve at room temperature or slightly chilled to appreciate the evolution of spices.
- Carajillo Oaxaqueño: Shake vigorously with espresso and ice for a frothy, complex take on the classic Carajillo.
- Oaxacan Russian: Substitute standard coffee liqueur in a White Russian, using mezcal or Paranubes Rum as the base spirit.
- With Tonic: Pour over ice and top with premium tonic water and a twist of orange for a refreshing, effervescent highball.
Production:
- Single-Origin: Both the cane and the coffee are sourced from the producer's own family farm and community in Rio Tuerto.
- No Artificial Additives: Sweetened only with Panela/Piloncillo; no corn syrup or artificial essences.
- Unique Production: One of the few liqueurs in the world to utilize clay-pot resting and fresh cane juice rum (rather than molasses neutral spirit) as the base.

What is the difference between Tequila & Mezcal?
Tequila is a type of mezcal, much like how scotch and bourbon are types of whiskey.
Tequila and mezcal are both types of agave-based spirits that are popular in Mexico, but there are some key differences between the two. Tequila is made exclusively from the blue agave plant, which is primarily grown in the area surrounding the city of Tequila, about 40 miles northwest of Guadalajara. Mezcal, on the other hand, can be made from any type of agave plant, and is often made using traditional, labor-intensive methods.
One of the most noticeable differences between tequila and mezcal is their flavor. Tequila is typically smooth and subtle, with hints of fruit and spices, while mezcal has a more complex, smoky flavor that comes from the roasting of the agave hearts before they are fermented and distilled.
Another difference between the two spirits is their production process. Tequila is typically made using modern industrial methods, while mezcal is often produced using traditional techniques that have been passed down for generations. This can give mezcal a more authentic, artisanal character.
In general, tequila is considered to be a more refined and sophisticated spirit, while mezcal is often viewed as a more rustic and traditional drink. Both are popular in Mexico and are enjoyed around the world, so the best way to decide which one you like is to try them both and see which one suits your tastes.
