Coffee Spirit Co - Norse Code Coffee Liqueur

14/06/2026

🏅 IWSC GOLD — 95 POINTS

NORSE CODE Hel Above has been awarded Gold at the 2026 International Wine & Spirit Competition, scoring 95 points.

This is now the highest score achieved by a UK coffee liqueur on record.

The judges described Hel Above as:
“Rich coffee aromas with layered roasted notes… beautifully balanced sweetness… long, refined finish.”

This award means a lot because NORSE CODE was never created to imitate traditional coffee liqueurs.
It was built to challenge them.

Built by coffee people.
Brewed using our cold-filter process.

Designed to deliver real coffee flavour, clarity and balance in every serve.

Because we believe coffee liqueur should taste like coffee.

Thank you to everyone who has supported us so far — from bartenders and baristas to customers, stockists and friends.

This is a big moment for a small Yorkshire brand.

York's coffee and spirits scene has made the news.

We're honoured to be featured in the York Press following NORSE CODE's recognition as England's Best Coffee Liqueur at the 2026 World Liqueur Awards.

What started with a simple idea – creating a coffee liqueur built around great coffee rather than hiding it – has grown into a product now enjoyed in homes, cafés and bars across the UK.

Thank you to everyone who has supported us so far, from our customers and stockists to the coffee professionals, bartenders and hospitality teams who have helped us along the way.

This recognition belongs as much to York and Yorkshire as it does to us.

Built right behind the bar.

Clarity, balance, and a crema that holds.
This is what happens when cold filter brewed coffee meets proper technique.
