Production & Aging
FEW Cold Cut Bourbon starts as cask-strength FEW bourbon, which is then brought to bottling strength using cold brew coffee instead of water. This innovative process imparts subtle coffee flavors without overpowering the bourbon's inherent character. The bourbon is aged for at least two years, adhering to the standards of straight bourbon whiskey.

Distinctive Characteristics

• Cold Brew Coffee Integration: Using cold brew coffee to proof down the bourbon adds depth and a unique flavor profile, distinguishing it from traditional bourbons.
• Craft Distillation: Produced by FEW Spirits, known for their innovative approaches and willingness to experiment within the craft spirits industry.
• Balanced Flavor Profile: The addition of cold brew coffee enhances the bourbon's complexity without dominating its classic characteristics.

Ideal Serving Suggestions

Please note that while the cold brew coffee adds a unique dimension, it remains subtle, allowing the bourbon's traditional flavors to shine through.
