At 50 proof (25% ABV), it's built for the modern Espresso Martini era — bold, balanced, and unmistakably real coffee. Winner of \"Best Liqueur\" and \"Best of Class\" at the 2024 Craft Distillers Spirits Competition.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eMaster Distiller Joe O'Sullivan partnered with Alpen Sierra's Master Roaster Christian Waskiewicz to develop Evil Bean from the ground up. The base spirit is distilled at Minden Mill in Minden, Nevada, using wheat and barley grown within a two-mile radius of the distillery. The coffee is a five-origin blend roasted at over 4,700 feet in Carson Valley, where slow, high-altitude roasting fully develops the beans' natural sugars and intensifies flavor complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch2\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Roasted coffee beans, dark chocolate, cherry cordial, warm grain\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bold cold brew coffee, bittersweet cocoa, smooth caramel, hint of vanilla\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long and velvety with lingering dark coffee and a touch of toffee\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e  \u003ch2\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003ctable\u003e \u003ctbody\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth\u003eType\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003eCoffee Liqueur\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth\u003eProducer\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003eEvil Bean Spirits \/ Minden Mill Distilling\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth\u003eOrigin\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003eMinden, Nevada, USA\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth\u003eProof\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e50 (25% ABV)\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth\u003eSize\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e750ml\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth\u003eAwards\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003eBest Liqueur \u0026amp; Best of Class — 2024 Craft Distillers Spirits Competition\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003c\/tbody\u003e \u003c\/table\u003e  \u003ch2\u003eHow to Drink It\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eEspresso Martini:\u003c\/strong\u003e The reason it exists. 1.5 oz Evil Bean, 1 oz vodka, 1 oz fresh espresso, ½ oz simple syrup.
