While you were sleeping, this coffee was, too — but its "bed" was a whisky barrel from Sons of Vancouver, and its slumber lasted just over two months.
Emerging with an oaky air, it took a deft little spin in the roaster and arrived at the party right when the music got good.
This year's Whisky Business is an anaerobic natural from Brazil, a step up from last year that swung boozy well before the barrels came into play. We've roasted it for a bit of extra caramel character, rolling low and slow for a profile that's great on drip or espresso.
Designed for sharing on festive occasions but no less a delight to savour solo, Whisky Business is our figurative glass raised to you, the friends and fans we hold dear.
Note – though these coffee beans spent numerous weeks absorbing the residual whisky character from otherwise empty oak barrels, the finished product is zero-proof.
