Introducing Rescue Roast Whiskey-Infused Coffee
A Bold Fusion of Specialty Coffee and Whiskey-Inspired Flavour
Some flavour combinations simply belong together.
Rich roasted coffee and the warm, complex character associated with fine whiskey have long been appreciated by coffee lovers around the world. Both are celebrated for their depth, craftsmanship and ability to be savoured slowly.
At Rescue Roast, we've brought these worlds together in an exciting new addition to our range:
Rescue Roast Whiskey-Infused Coffee
This unique coffee combines freshly roasted specialty coffee with carefully crafted whiskey-inspired flavour notes to create a coffee experience that is rich, smooth and unforgettable.
The result is a bold coffee that remains true to its specialty coffee roots while introducing subtle layers of vanilla, oak, caramel and gentle smokiness.
It's sophisticated, comforting and packed with character.
What Is Whiskey-Infused Coffee?
Whiskey-infused coffee is coffee that has been infused with flavour characteristics inspired by traditional whiskey maturation.
These flavour notes may include:
✔ Vanilla
✔ Oak
✔ Caramel
✔ Toffee

The purpose is not to overpower the coffee.
Instead, these flavours enhance the natural characteristics already found in quality coffee.
The result is a richer and more complex coffee experience.
Does Whiskey-Infused Coffee Contain Alcohol?
One of the first questions many people ask is:
"Does it contain whiskey or alcohol?"
The answer is:
No.
Rescue Roast Whiskey-Infused Coffee is designed to capture flavour and aroma rather than alcohol content.
It remains first and foremost a premium coffee product.
The focus is on flavour, not alcohol.
