Founded in 2013 by designer Tom Baker and esteemed Australian distiller Philip Moore, Mr Black emerged as an extraordinary coffee liqueur, marrying two beloved facets of Australian life: the enjoyment of good drinks and the passion for great coffee. In Australia, coffee transcends mere flavour; it embodies a vibrant culture, a cherished ritual, an obsession, an aesthetic, an experiential journey, and a sense of community. Mr Black embodies this rich coffee culture, inspiring individuals to extend their love of coffee beyond the morning routine and into their evening libations.
The mission of Mr Black is to elevate coffee liqueur to the same level of devotion as morning coffee. Committed to integrity and value, they elevate the status of coffee, positively impact communities, and craft exceptional beverages in the process. Every bottle of Mr Black is meticulously produced at their coffee roastery and distillery, nestled just north of Sydney, Australia. Sourcing specialty beans from the finest growing regions, their roasters and distillers meticulously create complex spirits that exude boldness, balance, and unapologetic coffee essence, without compromise or equal. Obsessed with detail, their Head of Coffee, Detlef Mohr, and Master Distiller, Philip Moore, endlessly refine their craft, ensuring consistently concentrated cold brews and expertly tuning water composition, temperature, and time. In their pursuit of perfection, they understand that greatness lies in the nuances.
