The Symphony of Flavors: Whiskey Barrel Aged Coffee

At the heart of this delectable coffee adventure is our Whiskey Barrel Aged Coffee. This unique product undergoes a meticulous aging process, transforming it into a beverage that encapsulates the rich, woody notes of whiskey barrels. But why does it work so well in the Jingle Spice Whiskey Cocoa Buzz?

Imagine the depth and complexity of whiskey-infused coffee meeting the velvety embrace of chocolate and the sweet crunch of Christmas cookies. The result is a symphony of flavors that dance on your palate with each sip.

The aging process of our coffee beans imparts a subtle smokiness and oaky undertone, elevating the entire coffee-drinking experience. As you take that first sip, you’ll be greeted by the familiar warmth of whiskey, followed by the comforting cocoa and the sweet nostalgia of Christmas cookies. It’s a harmonious blend that embodies the spirit of the season.

Buzz-Free

Don’t want to add spirits to your Christmas coffee? No problem. Simply add 1 to 2 teaspoons of whiskey-flavored extract or essence or Bourbon Whiskey Extract (readily available in most grocery stores).

A whiskey alternative will contribute a distinctive flavor to your coffee without the higher alcohol content. Adjust the quantity based on your taste preferences, as extracts can vary in intensity. We also recommend you read the label to ensure it’s alcohol-free.

Enjoy your Jingle Spice Whiskey Cocoa Buzz without the spirits but with all the festive flavors!
