Kahlua - Not a One Trick Pony

I am gazing at a beautifully aligned row of Kahlua products that I've established as an inspiration for this piece. I ask myself, fairly enough, what do they all have in common? The answer -- the finest Arabica coffee beans available anywhere.
Originating deep in the Yucatan, in the area founded by Conquistador Francisco de Montejo, amidst Mayan realm and mystery, Kahlua’s legend has grown alongside ripening coffee beans in the mountains of Veracruz, since 1962. With a flavor as rich and distinct as this region, Kahlua’s dark liqueur cradles delicate notes of rum, vanilla and caramel, wrapped in roasted coffee flavor from hand-picked Arabica beans.
In my opinion, Kahlua, as a brand, is an iconic product that crosses multiple generations. I remember one of my first drinks, the well known ‘White Russian'. Kahlua, vodka and cream. Yummy, right? The fact is Kahlua’s range of products goes much deeper than this classic pairing. With a selection of 8 different liqueurs, this begs to be explored.
Kahlua Especial boasts a darker, richer taste; the only ultra-premium, light bodied, supremely mixable liqueur from the land of Kahlua. This intensely flavored espresso liqueur is perfectly paired with Stolichnaya vodka for an espresso martini that will knock your socks off.
Kahlua Mocha is the newest addition to its product range. Created with a rich blend of 100% Arabica coffee, natural vanilla and real dark chocolate made from the finest cocoa beans, Kahlua Mocha is a true treasure and is a spirit that must be experienced. I sincerely had a hard time putting this bottle down.
On the sweeter side, Kahlua Hazelnut has a gently roasted hazelnut flavor that makes for a rich and decadent taste that greatly enhances their traditional flavor profile.
With additional offerings such as Kahlua Mudslide, Kahlua French Vanilla, Kahlua White Russian and the limited edition, Kahlua Coffee Cream, it has become apparent that Kahlua, which has reached the status of the number one liqueur brand in the world, is certainly not a one trick pony, but a manufacturer of a variety of fine liqueurs which deserve to be explored.
