Udaygiri Whisky Barrel Aged Coffee

Udaygiri Estate Whisky Barrel Aged – Oak Reserve. This is one of the most refined barrel-aged coffees we have roasted this year—an elegant microlot where specialty coffee meets the depth and character of whisky oak maturation. Sourced from Udaygiri Estate in Chikmagalur, this microlot explores how oak maturation can enhance coffee complexity while preserving clarity and fruit structure. Carefully selected ripe cherries are processed as naturals and dried to the ideal moisture level. Once stabilized, the green beans are transferred into seasoned whisky barrels that previously held aged whisky. The beans are then rested inside the barrels for several weeks, allowing the porous green coffee to slowly absorb the aromatic compounds embedded in the oak. This is a sophisticated coffee that highlights how barrel aging can complement specialty coffee without overshadowing its natural fruit profile.
