Introducing Rescue Roast Brandy-Infused Coffee
Where Premium Coffee Meets the Rich Character of Real Brandy
Some flavour combinations feel perfectly at home together.
Coffee and brandy have long been enjoyed around dinner tables, around fires and during special occasions thanks to their rich flavours, warmth and depth of character.
At Rescue Roast, we've combined these two traditions to create something truly special:
Rescue Roast Brandy-Infused Coffee
This unique coffee is infused with real brandy before roasting, allowing the beans to absorb the rich flavour characteristics that make brandy so distinctive. During the roasting process, the alcohol is removed, leaving behind only the flavour and aroma that complement the coffee.
The result is a smooth, aromatic coffee with subtle notes of caramel, dried fruit, oak and sweetness that pair beautifully with premium coffee.
It's rich, comforting and unlike anything else in the Rescue Roast range.
What Is Brandy-Infused Coffee?
Brandy-infused coffee begins with carefully selected coffee beans that are infused with real brandy before roasting.
As the beans absorb the character of the brandy, they develop flavour notes often associated with premium brandies, including:
- Caramel
- Toffee
- Dried fruit
- Oak
- Vanilla
- Gentle sweetness
During roasting, the alcohol is removed while many of the flavour characteristics remain.
The goal is not to create alcoholic coffee.
The goal is to create a unique coffee experience inspired by the rich flavour profile of brandy.
Does Brandy-Infused Coffee Contain Alcohol?
This is one of the most common questions we receive.
No.
Rescue Roast Brandy-Infused Coffee is infused using real brandy, but the alcohol is removed during the roasting process.
What remains are the flavour notes and aroma associated with quality brandy.
The result is still coffee—just with an added layer of complexity and character.
