History

B-55 Shot extends the B-50 family into stronger territory by incorporating a higher-proof or more assertive top layer, often a bold herbal or overproof spirit. The layered format still offers a smooth entry of coffee and cream, but finishes with a more pronounced kick and aromatic lift. It’s designed for those who enjoy the theatrics and sweetness of layered shots but want an extra hit of intensity. A small glass with an unexpectedly powerful finale.
