Set your course for bold flavor with Skippers Remedy® Cask & Current Guatemala - Whiskey Barrel-Aged, a finely crafted single-origin coffee from Guatemala that delivers both character and balance. With a medium roast level, this voyage-ready brew carries a smooth, steady profile with medium acidity and body, unfolding tasting notes of bright lemon-lime, smooth nougat, and rich brown sugar. Aged for a minimum of 30 days in a previously utilized whiskey barrel, it gains a subtle yet distinctive layer of whiskey warmth and complexity ...never overpowering, always intriguing. It’s the kind of cup that feels like open water at sunrise: refined, adventurous, and perfect for those who crave a coffee as bold as a journey on the high seas.

Below deck, where craftsmanship matters as much as the wind above, the story deepens.

The Whiskey Barrel-Aged Process

Each batch begins with a whiskey barrel that has just completed its former duty ...emptied, but still rich with character. There's no whiskey added here, only what the oak remembers. The barrel is meticulously prepared: sterilized with hot water and steam, then gassed to ensure a clean, aseptic environment worthy of specialty-grade beans.

Once dried to a precise moisture content, green coffee beans are carefully loaded into the barrel’s hollow core. There, over the course of at least 30 days, the beans rest and transform. The porous wood breathes into them ...subtle notes of charred oak, a whisper of the barrel’s past, and a trace of the non-alcoholic "devil's cut" held deep within the stave.

Time does the rest.

When the beans emerge, they carry something new ...an added dimension that doesn't mask their origin, but enhances it. The result is a cup that feels both grounded and exploratory: the bright clarity of Guatemala meeting the quiet depth of oak-aged refinement.

No additives. No shortcuts. Just patience, precision, and a respect for the journey.

Because at Skipper's Remedy®, every great coffee tells a story ...and this one sails a little further than most.
