Doing Work Coffee has been barrel aging coffee for almost 5 years now and our latest batch was a leap of faith or educated wish. As always, we stated with the best ingredients--This barrel has a crazy story to tell...This French oak barrel started its life holding Rombauer Pinot Noir for 7 years before being transported to Key West where Chef Paul Menta at First Legal Rum Distillery filled it with rum and aged it for another 4 years. The rum is exceptional and deserving of it's the accolades ...

How Are the Best Barrel Aged Coffee Beans Made
Before the beans are roasted, they are rolled in barrels that were used to age different types of alcohol. These can be barrels from rum, gin, wine, etc. In our case, we use cherrywood smoked rye whiskey and bourbon barrels that we get from a distiller in the great Bay Area. These are the flavors that we think complement the amazing aroma of coffee beans from a farm in Papua New Guinea in the best possible way.
The beans are rolled daily for several weeks (usually for at least two). Beans, before they are roasted, are quite porous. Because of this, they soak up the amazing flavor of smoked rye whiskey or smoked bourbon. And that is how our best barrel aged coffee is produced.
Barrel Aged Coffee Beans Taste Profile
Use your preferred method to brew your cup. The first distinct and straightforward flavor of the cup of coffee is the taste of whiskey or bourbon. When you get past the initial kick of smoked whiskey or bourbon, the taste of the amazing coffee from a sustainable producer in Papua New Guinea (our personal favorite!) becomes clearly noticeable. A cup of barrel aged coffee beans is an experience that you shouldn’t miss.
How I Discovered the Idea of Barrel Aged Coffee Beans
I thought it sounded pretty nutty…maybe a little sacrilegious when I heard about it a few years back mostly because while I do like strong brown liquor, I am a bit of a purist when it comes to coffee though. So, I lumped barrel aged coffee together with flavored coffees.
About six months into roasting coffee inspiration struck when I found Sonoma Distilling Company’s Cherrywood Smoked bourbon at a local store. While prepping dinner that night I made an Old Fashioned, the bourbon shined, so I poured a couple of fingers with a big ice cube. I don’t remember what we had for dessert that night… something chocolate and some of my favorite coffee, a single origin from Papua New Guinea and I thought about how my favorite coffee would be aged in a really interesting bourbon barrel.
This coffee is really a celebration of some of our favorite things...amazing coffee and top-shelf brown liquor. The coffee contains no alcohol, so it is just the beans that get buzzed while you enjoy a top-notch cup of coffee with the flavor notes of some of our favorite drinks. You can still be responsible and head out to start your day with this in your cup or get crazy after work and mix in some booze with your coffee - after all you are an adult and you deserve it!
