I have been experimenting with this process since our first mocktail night hosted at our new location in Eagle Rock, LA. I rarely age decaf coffee with our oak barrels due to low demand. However, since we are hosting this mocktail night, we need something that can provide a similar experience to barrel-aged coffee but without caffeine. Unfortunately, I didn't have much time to age it from the beginning. After thinking and consulting with my colleague Kareem, we discovered this infusion method. We want to try infusing whiskey with green coffee under pressure and in a short amount of time. Luckily, we found that we can use a whipping cream siphon gun to try small batches. After numerous attempts with different timing and pressure ratios of bourbon to coffee beans, and collecting all the data, we identified some interesting principles. We decided to move on to a larger production batch with a different pressurizing method, using a corny keg and a nitrogen tank for the infusion component. After a few failures, we developed a comprehensive plan, exploring a spectrum of infusing conditions from both ends. This helped us narrow down factors to make the process more precise and cost-efficient. We also didn't want to 'waste' too much of our precious whiskey (funny face emoji). Finally, we discovered a very effective formula with a specific ratio of whiskey, pressure, and infusing time. The result is a straightforward bourbon-flavored coffee, well-balanced and controlled. We are now launching the first product to share this exciting discovery with all our Regent folks. Hope you enjoy!
