Coffee Liqueur Bottle Appraisal

Vintage Kahlua Licor de Cafe Bottle

This is a vintage, round-shouldered glass bottle of Kahlua Licor de Cafe, an imported coffee liqueur from Mexico. The bottle is made of dark brown (amber) glass, designed to protect the contents from light, and is topped with a black screw-on cap. A red decorative textile or ribbon band runs vertically down the neck and onto the main body, held in place by a dark faux-wax seal embossed with a 'K'. The bottle features multiple paper labels: a yellow neck band with 'KAHLUA' repeating, a smaller red and white horizontal label stating 'IMPORTED FROM SUNNY MEXICO', and a large main body label with a yellow background depicting a stylized arches and landscape illustration. The main label includes the brand name in a bold, serifed orange font. The condition appears fair to good for its age; the paper labels show some edge wear, slight discoloration, and minor scuffing, particularly on the lower label. While the age is not explicitly printed, this specific label design and the red ribbon presentation are characteristic of production from the late 20th century, likely the 1970s or 1980s. The bottle appears to still be sealed with its original contents, though evaporation over time is a common occurrence with vintage spirits.
