José Whiskey is an exceptional Natural Parainema from Finca Jerusalén, rated 88 SCA. Its flavour profile impressed José so much that he decided to name the coffee after it.
Don’t expect coffee fermented in whiskey barrels or infused with alcohol. It has never come into contact with whiskey.Its unmistakable character developed naturally through the way the coffee cherries were processed.
In the cup, you’ll discover smoke, oak, coconut and dark caramel, complemented by red apple, brown spices, ginger and cedar. With virtually no acidity, it is bold, deep and unconventional – exactly the kind of coffee that truly shines as an espresso.

Parainema Natural José Whiskey – and no, there’s no whiskey in it.
Smoke. Oak. Dark caramel. Spices. When José first tasted this coffee, its flavour reminded him so much of whiskey that the name was immediately clear.
JOSÉ WHISKEY.
Parainema from Finca Jerusalén in Honduras, naturally processed and rated 88 SCA.
Its “whiskey” character comes entirely from the way the coffee is processed. With the Natural process, the coffee cherries are dried whole, with the fruit still surrounding the beans. During this process, complex aromas and flavours develop – and in this particular lot, they created an unusually deep profile reminiscent of the notes we commonly associate with whiskey.
In the cup, smoke and oak meet the sweetness of dark caramel and coconut. Red apple follows, accompanied by notes of brown spices, ginger and cedar. José Whiskey has virtually no acidity – instead, its profile is built around sweetness, spice and deep woody notes.
That is exactly why we love it especially as an espresso, where its intensity and unusually full character can truly shine. It is a coffee for those looking for a bold and distinctive flavour experience without the bright acidity often found in specialty coffee.
Is it whiskey? No.
Will it remind you of whiskey? Quite possibly.
José Whiskey shows just how surprising a flavour can be created by the coffee cherry itself, the processing method and the farmer’s craft. No alcohol. No barrels. Just coffee.
