Final Thoughts:

First off, the packaging on the Oak & Bond coffee is immaculate! A beautiful black canister, hand-written label, numbered bag, and a faux tax strip make you think of bourbon before you even brew the first cup. On the nose, the coffee screams Kentucky bourbon and roasted nuts. The palate follows through with a velvety smooth texture, bourbon, and citrus. Unlike some other barrel-aged coffees, the bourbon makes itself known with each sip without detracting from the overall quality of the actual coffee beans. While I wouldn’t necessarily start every day with a bourbon barrel-aged coffee (depends on how the week is going), this makes for the perfect weekend brew for any whiskey lover!
