He explored the incredible journey of coffee from field to cup, uncovering the unique process and distinct flavor profiles at each stage.
Drawing inspiration from the arabica coffee bean from Ethiopia, renowned as the birthplace of coffee, Steven selected a harmonious combination of American and European oak casks to achieve the distinctive notes offered by the single malts. This whisky has a nose of tiramisu, cappuccino, gingerbread, raisins, almonds, sweet oak, and vanilla. Notes of espresso, dark chocolate, raisin, tiramisu, blackberry, vanilla, Brazil nut, and sweet oak are dominant on the palate, and has a long finish of dark roast coffee.
