Indulge in the unique and sophisticated flavors of Ski Bum Coffee Co®'s Après Ski Whiskey Barrel-Aged - Private Selection, an exquisite addition to our lineup. This Private Selection begins with the finest single-origin Guatemalan beans, setting the stage for a truly exceptional coffee experience.
The beans are carefully aged for 30 days in a whiskey barrel, allowing them to absorb the distinct character of the whiskey-soaked wood. After this meticulous aging process, the beans are roasted to order, ensuring a fresh and aromatic brew.
The result is a distinct blend of rich coffee notes with the nuanced undertones of dark chocolate, brown sugar, sweet oak, with a hint of "devil's cut whiskey" and vanilla. Creating a sensory journey that mirrors the warmth and camaraderie of an après-ski gathering. Elevate your coffee ritual with this limited-edition Private Selection, where the fusion of single-origin Guatemalan and whiskey barrel-aging brings a touch of alpine luxury to each cup.
Flavor Adventure:
Guatemalan Coffee, Aged for a minimum of 30-days in a formerly utilized whiskey barrel. Taste notes of dark chocolate, brown sugar, sweet oak, with a hint of "devil's cut whiskey" and vanilla.
The Whiskey Barrel-Aged Process:
For our Après Ski Whiskey Barrel-Aged - Private Selection, we ensure a meticulous process that creates a truly unique and special coffee experience. Despite its name, there is no whiskey involved, so don't expect it to be part of the flavor profile. Instead, we begin by acquiring a freshly dumped whiskey barrel, which undergoes thorough sterilization with hot water, steam, and gas to ensure it is safe and aseptic for use. Once dry, the barrel is filled with green coffee beans, allowing them to absorb the aromatic essence and flavors of the charred oak and a hint of the non-alcoholic "devil's" cut present in the wood. This process imparts a distinct profile to the coffee, with notes of oak and a subtle complexity reminiscent of whiskey aging, without containing any alcohol. Rest assured, the only ingredient in our Après Ski Whiskey Barrel-Aged coffee is coffee, providing a unique and flavorful brew that embodies the essence of the après-ski experience.
