Origin: Caldas, Colombia
Process: Natural, Aged in Westland Distillery Garryana Barrels
Notes: Torched Bananas Foster, Vanilla, Cherry Wood, Clove, Chocolate
Roast Level: Mid-Light
For the second release in our Barrel Aged coffee series, we were insanely lucky to get our hands on an Oregon oak cask that our friends Westland Distillery had aged their widely celebrated Garryana whiskey in! The barrel itself had been freshly emptied and was bursting with strong notes of vanilla, mulled wine, fudge, and red berries.
We selected a fruit-forward natural Colombian coffee, which is super jammy with notes of strawberries and figs, and aged it in the cask for 5 weeks. After that, we created a blend combining aged and un-aged beans to add complexity and depth of flavor, and we genuinely couldn’t be happier with the results! This coffee is bold yet drinkable, with notes of bananas foster, sweet tobacco, and clove right out of the gate - followed by a lingering finish of chocolate, cherry wood, and vanilla. It’s roasted on the lighter side but maintains a full body that works beautifully for both espresso and pour-over.
