Whiskey Barrel Aged

1878 Reserve Collection

Whiskey Barrel Aged

At 1878 Coffee & Co., patience isn’t just a virtue — it’s a craft. Whiskey Barrel Aged begins its story in the heart of Guatemala, where premium single-origin beans rest quietly for 30 days inside freshly emptied bourbon barrels. During that time, they breathe in the spirit of the wood — layers of oak, caramel, and vanilla that whisper of distilleries and time well spent. Once aged to perfection, each batch is roasted to a smooth medium-dark finish, revealing a cup that’s rich, aromatic, and complex — where the warmth of whiskey meets the elegance of fine coffee.

Cigar Pairing:

Pair with a medium-bodied cigar such as the Aging Room Quattro Nicaragua or Alec Bradley Tempus Natural. Their balance of spice, oak, and creamy smoke harmonizes beautifully with the bourbon-barrel depth, enhancing every sip with warm, lingering sophistication.

Flavor Notes:

Oak, bourbon, vanilla, caramel, and toasted cocoa.

Serving Style:

Best served black or with a touch of cream to highlight its bourbon sweetness; pairs exceptionally with a neat pour of whiskey or small-batch bourbon.

Mood or Moment:

Perfect for late evenings, slow conversations, or moments that call for reflection and refinement.

Pairing Extras:

Complements dark chocolate, pecan pie, or smoked caramel desserts — and pairs flawlessly with aged bourbon or whiskey-forward cocktails.
