Taste: Smooth with layers of chocolate and fruit

A mingling of coffee and spirits, this memorable offering is created by aging Guatemalan coffee beans in Knob Creek® Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey barrels. The result is a spirit-free, showstopping cup with complex layers of chocolate and fruit.

Learn to make Whiskey Barrel-Aged Cold Brew the same way we prepare it at Starbucks Reserve:

Step 1: Combine 1 part coarsely ground Whiskey Barrel-Aged coffee and 2 parts cold filtered water by weight in a jar, stir and let steep for 18-24 hours

Step 2: Filter out the coffee grounds and add in 1/4 parts sweetener of choice (we prefer vanilla syrup).

Step 3: Serve by diluting with water in a 1:1 ratio, add ice, and enjoy!
