"Patrón XO Cafe is an extraordinary blend of ultra premium Patrón Silver tequila and the pure, natural essence of fine coffee. The taste is dry, not sweet as with most low-proof coffee liqueurs. Patrón XO Cafe is excellent for sipping, as a premium cocktail ingredient, or as a unique and delicious dessert topping."
And I have been thinking about a higher ABV coffee flavored mead, so maybe this is an idea I can kick around.
Maybe do a straight port, or use 1/2 sugar and half honey
My thoughts so far would be...what is your base? Grape juice? What kind of grapes?
And would you ferment on coffee beans or add to secondary? Or skip the beans and use instant coffee instead?
I would probably backsweet with homemade kahlua that we have, but I suppose you could always use honey or simple syrup.
Obviously this has gotten the mad scientist experimenter in me intrigued, so if you decide to tink around let me know.
Maybe we could have a coffee port-along.

a wine of 14% with high tannins
add 20% of 195 proof everclear and let the coffee beans get absorbed thru the everclear prior to adding it to the wine ? Especially good if you added some oak to it as well !
