Barrel Aging Process
Barrel Aging Process
How it works
First, we source green coffee beans from around the world that will compliment the flavor of bourbon — flavor, quality, and variety is at the heart of our proccess.
The proccess begins by selecting American oak barrels and seasoning them with a hand-picked whiskey, often with floral-forward notes that complement the coffee's profile.
Once the barrels are seasoned and dried, they are filled with green coffee beans. They remain in the barrels for a period, absorbing the flavors and aromas of the whiskey and oak.
After relying on his senses to determine the optimal point for removing the beans from the barrels, Leon, our owner and roaster moves onto the roast proccess. He is now sure that the coffee will achieve a balanced infusion of whiskey, oak, and the coffee's own inherent flavors. We ofter a variety of roast levels among our barrel aged coffees, from Dark ++ to Light. Try the beans out for yourself:
At Regent, we are known for our specialty: barrel aging our beans. While you can shop for whole beans, you can also enjoy ready to drink products like our cold brew that have been brewed to our standards.
We take our proccess seriously here at Regent and partner with L.A. Crafted to make sure the quality flavor we taste when we brew at our shop makes its way to you when you purchase from us online. We offer single serve cans of cold brew as well as glass bottled cold brew concentrate.

Storing our beans in a closed container will ensure they stay fresh-tasting for at least one month. However, even home storage containers can still let in small amounts of air, so it's better to use up these coffee beans quickly, and not leave them sitting around for too long!
Sealed, at room temperatures, we predict our cold brew coffee will safely last up to two months. The taste may degrade after one month.
Sealed, at refrigerated temperatures, we predict our cold brew coffee will safely last up to four months. With the taste degrading after two months.
Ideally, we recommend enjoying our barrel aged cold brew within the first few weeks of receiving your order.
Regent Coffee roasts beans fresh twice a week, Tuesadays and Fridays. Orders typically ship 48hrs after each of these roasting windows.
Using American oak barrels, we hand season with Kentucky Bourbon to control the aroma strength.
Next, we age our green beans with consistent attention and care, closely monitoring the desired infusion point.
Our whiskey profile is never over saturated, giving our coffee an extra layer of complexity. It is a specialty coffee taste that is non-alcoholic, yet lingers with whiskey notes t0 create a fascinating and refreshing drink.
