9th Street Barrel Aged Coffee Series is a quarterly release of coffees that are placed in different whiskey or wine barrels to absorb the aromatics of the alcohol. These don’t absorb the alcohol but they do create a unique flavor and smell. This is a fun series that Carabello has been doing for the last 5 years.
This year we have created 9th Street Barrel Aged Coffee - a new sub-brand of Carabello Coffee Company. Established in 2019, 9th Street Barrel Aged Coffee was born. There must be very few places in the world where you can visit a bourbon distillery on one side of town and enjoy a cup of coffee that was aged in its spent barrels just a few blocks away. But New Riff Distilling and Carabello Coffee make Newport, KY such a place.
In 2018, New Riff Distilling released its first bourbon. And when they did, we were fortunate to get our hands on a few of those spent barrels. Embarking on a quest to marry the fragrant aromatics of bourbon with the nuanced flavors of high grown Guatemalan coffee.
This coffee is uniquely Newport, KY. We think that's pretty cool. And we're confident you'll enjoy the fruit of our labors.
