Barrel-Aged Islay Whisky Coffee 

We use an Islay cask to prepare our green coffee beans prior to roasting. We lightly roast the coffee to preserve as much of the scent and flavour of the whisky as we can while maintaining the quality of our roast. Our coffee of choice for this process is Brazilian Bom Jesus.
