A truly unique aroma.
When preparing for the filter (v60, tricolate), the taste is full, you can also smell the "alcohol" trace from the barrels, but I would call it a pleasant, sweet aftertaste.
For some, the taste may be too specific, so it may not be for everyday drinking for everyone.

wonderful aroma
very distinct taste of whiskey - tested only on the filter
beautiful packaging
the taste is perhaps so strong that coffee is not for everyday drinking

Beautiful packaging.
With the "espresso method" via aeropress, which Petr shared below, it didn't taste bad.
Definitely not suitable for a filter as stated. It tastes very strange on the filter, faint, with a strange alcohol aftertaste.

Very tasty and rich whiskey flavour. it's true. i make filter coffee all the time and even my boyfriend who doesn't know coffee can feel the difference. we really like it
aesthetically pleasing packaging. that's important to me too :)
rich flavour, for lovers of not light taste just right. who likes coffee with a lighter intensity, I would think

I believe it would be nice for espresso, this "espresso" aeropress method gives pretty good results https://aeromatic.app/recipes/james-hoffmann-espresso-aeropress-recipe
Even though the roasting is omni, they say on the coffee packaging that it is more suitable for espresso.
In the classic preparation for the filter, I find the flavors rather bland, rather the coffee is so bitter.

strong aroma, for me an absolute coffee favorite, I will never get tired of it!!! I prepare espresso most often, but it's not to be thrown away even as a cappuccino :-) Only Concept Coffee Roasters Ethiopia MERRY CHRISTMAS competes, but this is TOP for me.

Very specific aroma, taste
I can't drink repeatedly in a row, to intersperse with other super
For the uninitiated, an instant coffee experience that simply tastes specific

Very interesting sweet whiskey scent.
It can be both bitter and slightly acidic, as well as vice versa. Try different preparation options. At first I didn't like it until I found a suitable way. Experiment with coarseness and watering method (V60). Petka water up to 100 minerals per liter (for example "good water")
A little more bitter and less acidic, it depends on the preparation and your taste.

Preparation method: V60 filter
Coffee (g): 20g
Water (g): 300g
Water temperature: 94
Grinder (settings): coarseness 16 (chestnut C2)
Process: Water three times in smaller doses.

Kava has a really strong aroma and taste that doesn't hide even in milk. They definitely do not recommend buying for everyday morning coffee.

Good result even with the first cup.
Good, sweet taste.
Great both with milk and as Espresso.
It's worth repeating, even though I've had better ones.
I would have expected more pronounced dried fruit.

From the beginning, the unusual aroma of whiskey already upon opening and grinding the coffee. It didn't seem like the best combination (for me) at first, but after a few sips after being prepared in a French press, I find that it's not bad at all
Surprisingly good espresso result on the first "attempt"
The whiskey flavor is balanced so that you can definitely smell it, but it's nothing that overpowers the coffee
Probably the best result over the V60. The purity of the V60 suits it very well, in my opinion. Nicely balanced coffee, whiskey just pleasantly plays in the background.
