I would assume that a proper mix of strong espresso, molasses, spiced
rum, and 151 proof rum would produce a sweet, strong coffee tasting, 70
proof liqueur similar to Kahlua Especial. Any thoughts?

I was under the impression that Kahlua was vodka-based, not rum. Rum
yields Tia Maria. But you could start with slightly diluted grain
alcohol and work your way down to 70-proof Kahlua.
