This \"Trit\" Whiskey is made from an original mash bill, including locally grown triticale, rye malt, and distillers’ malt. Aged for 4 years in new charred American Oak barrels, this whiskey is smooth and approachable, with notes of rye spices, vanilla, caramel, and a hint of cola.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Process\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOnce the empty barrel is in our warehouse, we measure the moisture content inside. The vapors are still quite present, so the barrel is aired out for approximately a day to ensure it is at the correct moisture level before we put the coffee in. We then weigh out our green coffee beans, place them in a fine mesh bag, and lay them on a rack inside the barrel for about three days. We continue to test the moisture content of the barrel and the coffee beans throughout this process, as we are checking for a certain percentage to infuse the green beans with. Too much, and the whiskey will overpower the beans - too little, and the coffee won't have the aromatics we're looking for. After we've reached our desired percentage, we take the green beans out and let them rest to release any overpowering alcohol vapors.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThen it's time for roasting!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Brewing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003ePaper filter\u003c\/span\u003e:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e For lighter body and a more prominent apple note, we recommend brewing with a paper filter.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eCold Brew\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e:\u003c\/span\u003e This is the staff favorite brewing method for Whiskey Coffee! \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e* This coffee contains no alcohol.*\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Caravan Coffee","offers":[{"title":"Whole Bean \/ 8oz","offer_id":49410371125486,"sku":"202WBC","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0068\/8907\/8820\/files\/Caravan_Whiskey_Coffee_2048x2048_1.png?v=1786662710","url":"https:\/\/caravancoffee.com\/products\/2026-whiskey-barrel-aged-coffee","provider":"Caravan Coffee","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
