☕️ Brew & Ways to Enjoy

Coarse Grind – Barrel Reserve Cold Brew

Smoky. Silky. Ready for sipping or spiking.



What You’ll Need (Serves 2–3):



  • 1 cup coarsely ground Whiskey Barrel Aged coffee
  • 4 cups cold, filtered water
  • Optional: Dash of maple syrup or a splash of Irish cream
  • Ice cubes or whiskey rocks




🔥 How to Brew It:

    Add grounds and water to a cold brew maker or French press. Stir gently to saturate.
  2. Steep overnight:

    Cover and refrigerate for 12–18 hours.

Standard Grind – Whiskey Maple Latte

Deep. Toasted. Sweet with a slow finish.

What You’ll Need (1 serving):

  • 8 oz strong brewed Whiskey Barrel Aged coffee
  • 1 tbsp pure maple syrup
  • ¼ cup steamed milk or cream
  • Tiny pinch of cinnamon or smoked salt (optional)


🔥 How to Make It:

  1. Brew it bold: Use drip, AeroPress, or pour-over. Aim for 2 tbsp per 6 oz water for richness.

  3. Steam & pour: Steam or warm milk and pour over the sweetened coffee. Stir gently.

💡 Perk Tip:

Use oat milk or cream to accentuate the whiskey notes—avoid anything too sweet or flavored.
