What is Bourbon Coffee?

Not long ago, if you suspected that a coworker was drinking bourbon coffee on the job, you might have wanted to contact HR. At least have a talk with that coworker and make sure everything was OK.

These days, “bourbon coffee” means something different. It no longer suggests spiking that tall mug of bean and caffeine. Instead, it’s something much better.

Fire Dept. Coffee, in 2016, introduced our signature Spirit-Infused Coffee to the world when we perfected our unique infusion process that embeds the unforgettable notes of our favorite spirits into the rich, bold flavor of our other favorite beverage — coffee.

The result was an exceptional new drink for lovers of both coffee and spirits. And the best part is that spirit-infused coffee is safe to drink anytime because the alcohol content disappears during the roasting process, leaving the flavorful notes of the spirits intact and leaving you fully capable of operating heavy machinery.

In the years since we began roasting spirit-infused coffee, our bourbon coffee roasts have been hands-down our most popular. So we give the people what we want, in new ways all the time.

The Best Bourbon Coffee and a Variety to Choose From

We started with the basics. Bourbon-Infused Coffee was an instant hit. 

It goes down smooth every time, always rewarding you with the sweet taste of barrel-aged bourbon to go with the rich coffee taste you want when you need that fix of caffeine.

“I like to drink this one at home in the evenings,” one Bourbon-Infused Coffee drinker wrote in an online review. “It fills my house with an amazing and complex aroma. Very smooth with a hint of sweetness from the bourbon undertones.”

When you know what to look for in a great bourbon coffee, it makes the entire experience more rewarding from the first sip. Our bourbon coffee can even be enjoyed as an iced coffee or cold brew.

We soon learned that lovers of spirits and lovers of coffee are like insatiable world travelers, always looking for new experiences and new tastes. They crave variety and authenticity.

As coffee roasters, we love the process of exploring and experimenting just as much. So we accepted the challenge and, along the way, we’ve created an entire collection of unique bourbon coffees to delight spirit-infused coffee lovers.

We now regularly roast our extremely popular Black Cherry Bourbon Infused Coffee, as well as Vanilla Bean Bourbon Infused, and Salted Caramel Bourbon Infused.

Our Spirit-Infused Coffee Club is where we expand our horizons even more. Each month, club members receive an exclusive spirit-infused roast. It’s not just bourbon-infused roasts. It might be infused with whiskey or scotch or rum or tequila.

Bourbon-infused remains the most popular, and roasts like Blueberry Bourbon Infused, Chocolate Cherry Bourbon Infused or Maple Bourbon Infused have left club members asking how they can get more.

What’s even better is that we are still in the early days of the bourbon coffee era. Spirit-infused coffee is here to stay, and coffee and spirit lovers have a lot of delicious roasts and amazing experiences to look forward to as we continue on this journey together.
