New from St. George Spirits in the Bay Area is distiller Dave Smith's NOLA coffee liqueur. Smith met his wife in New Orleans, so this is his tribute to a place that's close to his heart.It's made with Ethiopian Yirgacheffe coffee beans roasted medium-to-dark, French chicory root and Madagascar vanilla. Per usual, the Alameda-based distiller pays attention to the details. The beans are roasted by Jewel Box Roasters in Oakland. And when they couldn't get the right grind with a coffee grinder, they turned to a grain mill. The coffee is then infused at low temperatures to extract maximum flavor and minimal astringent components.
