Sláinte - Whiskey Barrel Aged Coffee

Highlights

“Barrel ageing is a second fermentation in wood: Harley Estate's Selection 9 cherries spend 8 to 10 weeks in Amrut whiskey barrels, picking up the aromatic compounds the oak still holds, then dry on raised beds. NAIVO calls it a difficult coffee to roast that rewards care with a completely different spectrum of flavour - black currant, jujube fruit and a smoky finish behind dark-rum bittersweetness. Nothing alcoholic is added; the spirit only seasons the barrel.”
