Two innovative start-up drinks brands have collaborated to create the world’s first coffee liqueur combining cold brew coffee with vacuum distillate, which launched on International Coffee Day.
Combining expertise in their individual industries to create the unique liqueur, Cooper King Distillery and Artemis Cold Brew have joined forces with inspiration fuelled by the founders’ love of great coffee and spirits.
Launched on International Coffee Day, 1st October 2018, Erebus Cold Brew Coffee Liqueur is the first of its kind in the world. Combining cold brew coffee with vacuum distilled coffee spirit creates aromas and flavours that have never previously been achieved.
Clean, fresh coffee on the nose leads to defined coffee flavours on the palate, with a long, intense finish. Vacuum distillation is leading a revolution in the spirits industry, thanks to the clarity and vibrancy of flavours created due to the cool, gentle temperatures used during the distillation process.
Established in Yorkshire by Chris Jaume and Abbie Neilson in 2016, Cooper King Distillery is a self-built, independent and innovative distillery. Having released its inaugural product, Cooper King Dry Gin, earlier this year, the distillery is set to begin producing its highly anticipated whisky next month.
Co-founder of Cooper King Distillery, Chris Jaume said: “We’re proud to have created the first coffee liqueur in the world using vacuum distillation. We’re always thrilled to collaborate with other local, flavour-obsessed businesses: Artemis are world class, producing some of the best cold-brew coffee on the market. We’ve worked really hard on this project and are incredibly excited to be launching a product that celebrates coffee in such a unique way.”
The project brings together two Yorkshire-based start-up businesses, both striving for innovation in their sectors. With shared values, Cooper King Distillery and Artemis endeavour to operate sustainably, utilising the highest quality and traceable ingredients throughout their products.
With a mission to create a versatile coffee liqueur, making for a delicious espresso martini whilst also a drink that can be enjoyed in its own right, Erebus Cold Brew Coffee Liqueur contains just one fifth of the amount of sugar as the market leader, allowing for the true coffee flavours to shine through.
Founded in 2015 by Ben Barker, Artemis produces a range of speciality cold brew coffee products from it brewery in Womersley, Yorkshire. The company was born from a passion for coffee and science, with an aim to bring high quality, innovative coffee products to enthusiasts across the world.
Ben Barker commented: “We’re extremely excited to get this wonderful creation out there into the hands of bartenders worldwide. Ever since entering the market with our innovative coffee concentrate we’ve seen a liqueur as the next step, with our experience in speciality coffee and Chris and Abbie’s experience in the world of distilling we’ve been able to create a product that’s incredibly unique with ingredients that complement each other beautifully. As two brands we have many values in common and it’s fantastic to be collaborating with another great Yorkshire based start-up.”
A collaboration of true Yorkshire excellence, the Erebus Cold Brew Coffee Liqueur bottle features a symbolic geometric rose in the centre, celebrating a partnership of two up-and-coming local businesses.
In line with both company’s sustainability efforts, a percentage of sales proceeds will go to charity and all the coffee within the liqueur is speciality grade and directly sourced.
