Taste the coca leaf
HAVE YOU EVER TASTED THE FLAVOUR OF THE COCA LEAF?
AGWA DE BOLIVIA is renowned as the only coca leaf liqueur in the world today.
The flavours of South America inspired the taste of AGWA, the crown jewel in our range of premium Bolivian coca leaf herbal liqueurs.
The dried, macerated coca leaves are steam distilled to produce an alcoholic extract with aromatic characteristics of the original plant.
The bittersweet coca leaf extract is at the heart of the AGWA flavour, complemented and enhanced by a select number of impressive ingredients.
60 Proof | 30% ABV
SUPREMELY VERSATILE. ENJOY AGWA AS A FROZEN SHOT OR MIX EFFORTLESSLY IN COCKTAILS, LONG DRINKS OR HOMEMADE COCKTAILS.
The secret to versatility is in the crafting of complementary flavours and alcohol ingredients.
In AGWA you will detect a slight musk aroma overtone with elements of dried fruit. The flavour is bittersweet, originally spikey on the tongue, but quickly settling into lasting peppery notes. Overall, the coca leaf produces a gentle extract with a bitter bite. The bitterness and raw pepper sensation are the reasons the coca leaf is partnered with complex layers of flavours.
AGWA’s coca leaf flavour is achieved by infusing and blending over 36 botanicals. This makes it a unique flavour ingredient when stirring up your next batch of homemade cocktails.
Any aspiring mixologist or home bartender can mix a wide range of cocktail ideas with AGWA’s versatile flavour profile to create simple yet delicious drinks.
The process
Juice rich coca leaves are hand-picked 2000m above sea level in the Andes. AGWA’s exclusive license is then used to fly the coca leaves under armed guard to Amsterdam.
100% of the primary alkaloid is removed. De-cocainized coca leaves are macerated and steam distilled to produce spirit, flavour and natural colour.
The coca leaf distillate is blended and infused with 36 botanicals. The flavours marry before being approved by the master blender as the AGWA flavour.
The AGWA flavour is blended with 5 times distilled vodka, sugar, water and natural colour. Agitation tanks determine the liquid's strength and viscosity. The liquid is transferred to bottling tanks to produce AGWA De Bolivia. Finally, we taste and ship to you.
