limited edition

Limited Edition KOVAL Bourbon Barrel-Aged Coffee

INTENSITY

It's back, and it might be our most unique release yet. We rest green coffee from Bali in a freshly dumped KOVAL Single Barrel Bourbon barrel for two weeks, then roast it medium. The bourbon is front and center, and as the cup cools it turns into butterscotch, oatmeal cookie and a hint of cedar. No alcohol, all character. Once it's gone, it's gone.
