Whiskey Barrel Aged Coffee

Presenting a limited-edition roast crafted by the Astoria Coffee Company in partnership with Pilot House Distilling and the F/V South Bay. This collaboration begins with a barrel initially used for Pilot House Distilling’s Come Hell or High Water whiskey. Following a customary period of aging on land, the barrel was affixed to the stern of the F/V South Bay, which then embarked on a maritime journey spanning several months as the captain and crew pursued Dungeness crab. Upon the completion of its seafaring expedition and subsequent emptying, the Astoria Coffee Company takes the helm. Here, we age green coffee beans in the barrel until they absorb just the right amount of whisky essence, resulting in a roasted coffee boasting the soul of fine spirits, intertwined with indulgent, complex notes of cherry, vanilla, and caramel. This barrel-aged coffee offers a voyage within every cup, a tribute to collaboration and the elegance of artisanal production.
