Blind Assessment: Deep-toned, sweetly fermenty. Oak barrel, chocolate fudge, raspberry, freesia-like flowers, a hint of rum in aroma and cup. Sweet structure with gentle, round acidity; satiny-smooth mouthfeel. Chocolaty, oak-toned finish with rum undertones.
Notes: Kauai Coffee, Hawaii’s largest coffee producer, operates a popular visitor center and tasting room on its farm on the south coast of the Hawaiian island of Kauai. This entirely estate-grown coffee was aged in charred rum barrels after processing by the washed method. Visit www.kauaicoffee.com for more information.
The Bottom Line: A nicely balanced barrel-aged coffee from Kauai driven by chocolate, fruit and floral suggestions.
