How it’s made
We rest green coffee in empty whisky barrels so the oak and residual vapours infuse the beans. No liquid is added, no flavouring oils, just time and wood. After resting, we roast to highlight sweetness and balance. You get the whisky-cask aroma with none of the alcohol.

Freshness
We roast fresh coffee every day and your bag always has the roast date printed.
Storage
Keep the bag sealed and in a cool, dry place. Avoid the fridge or freezer once opened.
I don't have a grinder. What setting do I choose when buying your coffee? Let's step you through the options to help you find the perfect choice.
Espresso
This will be best for most domestic espresso machines.
Stove-top
Suits a traditional moka pot style brewer.
Aeropress
Great for those devices or similar from other manufacturers.
Filter
A little coarser now, good for most styles of pour-over brewing.
Plunger
This is our coarsest setting. For a slower brewed, smooth french-press.

FAQ
Is there any alcohol in the coffee?
No. The beans rest in empty barrels, so you get the aroma without alcohol.
Does it taste like “flavoured” coffee?
No syrups or oils are used. Expect oak, vanilla and dried-fruit aromatics layered over a classic chocolate sweetness.
What brew methods suit it best?
It shines as espresso and in milk, and makes a beautifully fragrant filter brew.
Will it affect my grinder’s flavour?
Aromatics can linger briefly. If that worries you, purge a small dose of your regular beans after grinding.
