Don Pablo Bourbon-Infused Coffee
Coffee soaked in fine Kentucky Bourbon, then roasted to remove the alcohol, so only the Bourbon flavor remains…
Our Organic Specialty Grade coffee is soaked in fine Kentucky Bourbon before it’s roasted, until the beans absorb every drop. It is dried, then roasted to perfection golden blonde in small batches, when the natural sugars of the beans and the Bourbon are caramelized just right. The result is an intense and full bodied coffee with Bourbon flavor notes of caramel, honey and butterscotch. The marriage of these natural flavors is a fine balance of sweet and spice, fruitiness and nuttiness, partially derived from the Bourbon’s maturation in seasoned oak casks.
