This bourbon barrel aged coffee is carefully crafted in small batches by our head roaster. The coffee beans are aged in "Live" by Tom and Huck oak bourbon barrels.

The result is a coffee that’s rich, bold, and slightly sweet, with subtle notes of black cherry and vanilla and an alluring aroma of toasted oak and bourbon. Pair it with a touch of sweetness and a dash of cream for the perfect indulgent cup.
