AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) — Allen’s Coffee Flavored Brandy is again the top-selling liquor in Maine.

According to the Bureau of Alcoholic Beverages and Lottery Operations, nearly 1.1 million bottles of the dark-colored libation were sold at Maine stores in 2008. That’s up nearly 40,000 bottles from 2007, when Allen’s became the first brand of alcohol to sell more than 1 million bottles in Maine in a single year.

The Bangor Daily News reported that Orloff Vodka was a distant second, with 276,000 bottles being sold. Other top sellers were Captain Morgan Spiced Rum, Bacardi Light Rum and Absolut Vodka.

Allen’s is produced by M.S. Walker of Somerville, Mass., which says it has been the best-selling spirit in Maine for more than 20 years.
