Dark Woods - Common Grounds Woodford Reserve Bourbon Barrel Aged Coffee Tin 150g
If you're looking for a coffee to go with a cigar, the wait is over! This stunning coffee with notes of Woodford Reserve Bourbon from the aging process, is a coffee, a whisky and a cigar all in one go without the headache! Supplied in a beautiful presentation tin.
A sister project to the Common Grounds Coffee Porter - which Dark Woods roast and source the coffee - Common Grounds is a striking and innovative collaboration with Huddersfield craft brewer Magic Rock. Utilising Woodford Reserve Bourbon Barrels sourced from the brewery we explored the idea of resting green coffee in these used barrels before roasting, in the same way that the brewery ages some of its beers.
After much experimenting Dark Woods arrived at the choice of a washed Ethiopian Yirgecheffe whose natural floral, citrus character became completely transformed by the process. Retaining notes of vanilla and dried fruit from the oak and carrying a surprising amount of sweet Bourbon aroma this formerly limited-edition coffee is a regular sell-out and cult favourite amongst customers worldwide.
Common Grounds won coveted 3-Star Gold Awards in both the 2017 and 2018 Great Taste Awards. Judges commented that it, "has a great nose; feels like you can taste the barrels in the aroma. IT delivers a big hit of blackcurrants and forest fruits. With milk the fruits are even more pronounced. Funky, sweet, rich and smooth. Delicious!".
