The barrel story

The barrel got a second job

These beans rested in OCD #5 bourbon barrels before roasting, then went into the roaster at Glenn’s Creek Distillery itself.

The lots are Castillo, Caturra, Colombia and Typica, grown at 1,300 to 1,650 meters. A medium roast keeps them clear, with enough body to hold up as espresso.

Roasted on site at Glenn’s Creek Distillery.

No. The green beans rest in an empty barrel that used to hold whiskey. They pick up its aroma and flavor, not its alcohol. Nothing is added, and there's no whiskey in the cup.

Is it whole bean or ground?

Whole bean. Grind it right before you brew so the barrel aromas don't fade.

Glenn’s Creek OCD #5 Bourbon barrels.

What does this barrel-aged coffee taste like?

Spice, walnut and chocolate.
