I know this was mentioned before  (back in 2011)- but according to the London Beis Din (http://www.kosherliquorlist.com/product_info.php?products_id=419) and I personally confirmed with higher ups in the OU that all Kahlua purchased outside the US is acceptable.  Kahlua manufactured in US is produced on the same lines as mudslides and has caramel coloring added.  I receive bottles of Kahlua from Europe from people who work in Kashrus.

My understanding is that it must say "original" on it to be kosher.

What about the Kahlua Turin chocolates, does anyone know if they are kosher?  How about If purchased outside the states?

kahlua's website currently says "The Kahlua bottle size produced in Mexico is a 980ml, and only this bottle size is Kosher."
can anyone who's bought this in mexico confirm that it was 980ml?
has anyone gotten a bottle that (they think or know) was bottled in mexico and i was a different size?

They're still 980ml.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

thanks dan. so if it's a 1 liter bottle (even if the seller claims it's imported from mexico,) it's still not kosher?

OT but does anybody know what the taxes will be if I bring a half dozen bottles of Kahlua over the border at the Nogales (AZ) crossing? I think only one bottle per person is tax-free.

It's under "Kashrut Maguen David" as moish said.  I don't think they put their logo on the bottles though.
Maguen david is the best mexican hashgacha, they have some mehadrin things as well. they have agood kosher list for mexican things
this is the link http://www.kosher.com.mx/

They are only recommended for their Mehadrin products, their level for non-mehadrin is very very lenient.

i'm in mexico, and see 2 types of kahlua 980ml bottles here, one looks more authentic and more expensive, the other is 2 for $27 (at a discount store), both say made in mexico.
anyone think people make fake kahlua in mexico (both stores in a reputable shopping mall (La Isla across from the Westin Lagunamar))?

you're probably just paying extra for the bottle of the more expensive one...
the ones purchased in the US are not fake, it's just that somewhere along the processing between the vats in mexico and the bottling in the US they're stored in non-kosher barrels or s/t.
Does the label say “BOTTLED in Mexico” Can you bring me back a bottle or 2?

both say made in mexico, but one has a nice kahlua K seal on front other doesnt. i will err on the side of caution.
cheap one looks like this: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/STICKER-Kahlua-Coffee-Liqueur-Bottle-for-Bar-car-window-Fridge-28cm-/170997557043?pt=AU_BarwareCollectables&hash=item27d03fa733&_uhb=1

more expensive looks like this: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/GoodDrop-Kahlua-Mexican-Coffee-Liqueur-Twin-Pack-2-x-1-Litre-/251401058598

both 980ml, just one without the K seal.

The one my Mexican cousins bring us is the one that you are saying is more expensive (with the k seal). The other might be kosher, but I don't have any info on it.

I was there yesterday and also saw both. I asked the salesperson the difference and she said they are same thing, just one is from 2011 and one 2012 ( and you could actually see that on the monogram barcode sticker that every alcohol bottle in that country have). So I got one of each  :D

to be clear, i didnt look at those links closely, the bottles just resembled the 2 types of 980ml bottles i saw on the street here. both bottles i saw in cancun say made in mexico and are 980ml, just one looks fancier and is indeed more expensive.
