Limited to 26 bottles, Ex-01 represents the pinnacle of competition-grade coffee liqueurs. Crafted with Colombian Gesha by Matthew Robley-Siemonsma of Album Coffee (SCA UK Champion 2016 & 2017) and Gordon Howell, UK Brewers Cup Champion.

The coffee is carefully roasted and brewed to preserve clarity, vibrancy, and complex aromatics. It is then blended with Cooper King’s Marris Otter grain new-make spirit and single-origin sugar to create a spirit-forward, smooth, funky, and rare coffee liqueur.

Only 26 bottles exist — a truly limited, collectible release for coffee and whisky aficionados alike.
