MORE INFORMATION

Andres Mauricio has been perfecting the barrel aged technique since 2018. With over 15 years of experience working with CENICAFE, a masters in agricultural production systems, doctorate in genetics and background as agronomic engineer and coffee producer, he’s well up for the task of developing the perfect aging process.

His inspiration came from Manizales’ long history as a coffee and liquor producer. In particular, the Licorera de Caldas company’s famous rum inspired him to experiment with aging coffee in liquor barrels.

Andres has been experimenting with coffees from different regions to see how the aging process affects the different regional profiles. 

The conditions that make the region ideal for aging liquor also make it ideal for processing coffee. The high altitudes of the Caldas region that lead to lower temperatures and create a longer, slower aging process. 

Coffee is aged in barrels that were used to age alcohol. This lot was aged in whiskey barrels. The process takes 2 months. Humidity is monitored and controlled throughout the process.
