ABOUT MR BLACK
Established in 2012 in Australia, Mr Black was created by designer Tom Baker and Philip Moore, one of Australia’s highest awarded distillers. The two men were united by a love of bitter, black beverages and joined forces to make Mr Black.?Mr Black was awarded a gold medal at the International Wine and Spirits Competition in 2013 and with the award under their belt, the duo launched Mr Black to the Australian public in 2013.

Their goal has always been clear; create a drop that embodies Australia’s progressive culture and their unrelenting pursuit of steel ground, cold extracted, caffeinated perfection.

Tom Baker, co-founder of Australia’s quintessential coffee liqueur thinks it’s about time we spoke to the great people of Australia about coffee and cocktails and celebrated both in the one room.

“We are the booze company for coffee people so we’re sitting on both sides of the fence for this one. For us at Mr Black it’s about really great specialty coffee, good products and the top coffee and spirit purists from all over Australia. We’re always loved the bartenders and baristas comps so we’re really excited about getting more people involved here,” said Tom.

Mr Black was created by Tom Baker and Philip Moore who, quite simply, wanted to give Australians a new excuse – and a new way – to drink coffee. Mr Black is now considered one of the leading producers of coffee liqueur and is internationally recognised by coffee and spirit experts around the world.
