Whisky Barrel Aged Double Bourbon Coffee

About This Coffee

This Rwandan coffee from the Mageregere region is grown at 1800-1950 meters altitude. It features the Bourbon variety and undergoes a unique barrel aging process in eight-year-old single-use bourbon whisky barrels from Kentucky, in collaboration with Cotswold Distillery. The beans rest in the barrels for periods ranging from one week to two months. The result is a coffee with rich, boozy decadence featuring notes of honey, vanilla, and spices. The barrel aging process imparts gentle whisky undertones that harmoniously blend with the naturally sweet characteristics of the Rwandan Bourbon beans.
