Toussaint Coffee Liqueur (French pronunciation: [tusɛ̃]) is a coffee-flavoured liqueur prepared with a rum base that originated in Haiti, [1] [2] commemorating the revolutionary hero Toussaint Louverture. [3] [4] [5] Its alcohol by volume content is 30%. [6]
Toussaint was first developed by Anker Horn and his family in Haiti in the late 1970s. [7] It is prepared with arabica coffee beans, aged three-year rum made from the sugarcane, and a combination of cocoa, vanilla, and liquorice flavours. [8] [9] [10] In the late 1990s Anker and his son Aloysius launched the drink across Scandinavia, Europe, Haiti and Australia. Toussaint gained a considerable amount of success, especially in the United Kingdom. [11] In 2013, the company was bought by Quintessential Brands, [12] which redesigned its brand, relaunched and moved production to England in the G&J Distillers distillery to ensure a reliable supply and consistent quality. [9] [13] Marbelhead Brand Development distributes the liqueur, and was responsible for its reintroduction in the United Kingdom. [6]
Touissant was awarded 5+ stars, the highest rating by the renowned Difford's Guide in 2013. [14] In 2014, the Global Rum Masters awarded it Gold for flavored rum [15] and in 2015, gave it the Master Medal for complex. [8]
In 2013, the cocktail L'Ouverture named and prepared by Nicci Stringfellow, a representative for Marblehead distributors using Toussaint as the principal, has won Gold in the Drinks International Cocktail Challenge. [16] [7]
In April 2014 in the United Kingdom, Toussaint Coffee Liqueur introduced a competition for bartenders to create a cocktail using the liqueur, as well as a dish that incorporates the liqueur. [17]
