This coffee is a masterpiece—aged for 30 days in a Bourbon barrel, then roasted fresh to order, ensuring every cup is filled with warmth, depth, and character.

Aged to Perfection in Bourbon Barrels

What makes this coffee truly stand out is the aging process. Single-origin Guatemalan beans, known for their smooth body and subtle chocolatey and fruity notes, are aged for 30 days in seasoned Bourbon barrels. During this time, the beans absorb the rich, smoky, and slightly sweet flavors of the whiskey, creating an intricate harmony between the two. This process gives the coffee an unparalleled depth, infusing it with hints of vanilla, oak, and caramel—the signature characteristics of fine Bourbon.

Freshly Roasted for the Ultimate Flavor

The journey of these beans doesn’t stop at aging. Once they have reached the perfect level of flavor infusion, they are roasted to order, ensuring maximum freshness. This roasting process is where the magic happens—releasing the beautiful marriage of the whiskey’s bold notes with the natural brightness of Guatemalan coffee. Each cup is full-bodied and smooth, offering a symphony of flavors from the first sip to the last.

An Unforgettable Tasting Experience

Whiskey Barrel Aged Coffee delivers an experience like no other. The aroma alone is intoxicating—a combination of the roasted coffee's richness and the deep, smoky sweetness of aged whiskey. When brewed, the coffee presents a complex flavor profile: the warmth of Bourbon mingles with the bright acidity of Guatemalan beans, all rounded out by a smooth finish that lingers on the palate.

Expect to taste subtle notes of oak, vanilla, and dark chocolate, perfectly balanced by the fruity undertones of the single-origin beans. This coffee is ideal for those who appreciate bold flavors with layers of complexity, making each cup feel like a luxurious indulgence.

HOW we process this unique coffee bean blend

Whiskey Barrel Aged Coffee Beans: A Unique Fusion of Flavor

Barrel aging has long been the domain of wine and spirits, but now, it’s making waves in the coffee world. Our roasters are leading the charge, showcasing coffee as the next frontier in barrel aging right from the Seattle Roastery. 

To create this exceptional roast, master roasters start with pounds of unroasted green Guatemalan coffee beans, carefully hand-scooping them into fresh Bourbon oak barrels made in small batches. Regular mixing ensures each bean interacts with the barrel, absorbing the rich flavors and aromas of oak.

“This meticulous process requires time, care, and patience to ensure we preserve the coffee's unique qualities while infusing it with the distinctive character of oak aging,” explains Thompson. The result is a cup that melds earthy notes with the warmth of the barrel, delivering a truly unique experience.

Once the aging is complete, the beans are roasted to eliminate any residual alcohol while retaining the whiskey flavor. Our roasters then utilize these beans in two delightful beverages: the Barrel Aged Cold Brew, which highlights caramel and vanilla notes, and the Barrel Aged Con Crema, a hot pour-over of Whiskey Barrel Aged coffee mixed with barrel-aged vanilla syrup, topped with a cascara sugar cold-foam.

For those who want to take this unique roast home, the beans are also available for purchase. Experience these exclusive barrel-aged offerings only at our roasters, and discover a new world of coffee flavor.
