About the Farm

Barrel ageing takes coffee beyond conventional processing by introducing another source of flavour development. Coffee is rested in barrels previously used for spirits or wine, allowing it to interact with aromatic compounds retained within the wood. The character of each lot changes with the coffee, the barrel and the time spent ageing—bringing anything from fruit and spice to oak and distinctly boozy notes into the cup.

Despite these flavours and aromas, barrel-aged coffee is non-alcoholic. The process is about the aromatic character imparted by the seasoned barrel, not the addition of whiskey, rum, wine or any other alcohol to the coffee. For us, the goal is to find the point where the character of the barrel comes through without overpowering the coffee itself.

Barrel aged coffee can be two things – a well-crafted gimmick or a well-crafted specialty coffee. And obviously, our focus is on achieving the latter. It’s a difficult coffee to roast but, when done right, it can reveal a completely different spectrum of flavors. The combination of woody undertones with boozy flavors may not sit perfectly on all palates. But if you’re an adventurer who appreciates intense surprises, this is a coffee you just shouldn’t miss!
