Honduras - Moke: Whiskey Barrel Aged (Special Process Coffee)
Special Process Coffee Edition #7: Honduras – Moke: Whiskey Barrel Aged
Innovation meets tradition: With our Whiskey Barrel Aged coffee beans, you can experience coffee in a completely new way. High-quality Catuai and Pacas Arabica beans from Finca Moke in Honduras are combined with the unique aroma profile of aged whiskey barrels and perfected through gentle roasting – creating a flavor experience like no other.
After the whiskey has matured, a fine residual layer remains in the barrel – the so-called “Devil’s Cut.” It is precisely these nuances that the coffee beans absorb, turning every sip into a harmonious and intense blend of hazelnut, vanilla, and subtle butterscotch notes. Don’t worry – this coffee contains no alcohol (it evaporates during roasting), and it is virtually free of acidity!
The secret lies in perfect timing: During the barrel-aging process, the green beans remain in the barrel just long enough to absorb the characteristic whiskey flavors without developing unpleasant notes (about 3 weeks). The result is a coffee that is complex, balanced, and truly unique.
Enjoy it as an espresso, pour-over, or in your favorite milk-based drink. Every cup tells a story of craftsmanship, patience, and attention to detail – a coffee that delights both whiskey lovers and coffee enthusiasts alike.
We are proud to be able to offer you 20 kg of this unique coffee exclusively in Switzerland.

Special Process Edition
We buy coffees in our Special Process Edition from selected farms in very small quantities, i.e. only one green coffee bsg (approx. 20-40 kg) per type. We focus on coffees that have been prepared using special processes: natural coffees, honey coffees (hybrid process between washed and natural), anaerobic fermented coffees and other experimental methods (e.g. barrel storage). We only stock Special Process Edition coffees for a short time, until the 20-40kg are used up. This also means for you: If you like one of these coffees very much, order it again as soon as possible, because we probably won't have this coffee available again any time soon.
