The Reason Hoyser Drunken Bean Coffee Whiskey is a Must-Try

The Reason Hoyser Drunken Bean Coffee Whiskey is a Must-Try

Coffee and whiskey naturally share over 300 aroma compounds, which explains why Hoyser Drunken Bean Coffee Whiskey is so loved at Pascale's Wine & Liquors in Fayetteville.

When customers walk into our store at 105 Towne Drive, they're looking for spirits that offer something special. This combination of rich coffee depth and smooth whiskey warmth fits the bill perfectly.

What Makes Hoyser Drunken Bean Coffee Whiskey Different?

Hoyser Drunken Bean Coffee Whiskey uses 100% Arabica coffee beans for their smoother taste and lower acidity. The beans are dark roasted at 425°F for 15 minutes to bring out their natural chocolate and caramel flavors. This roasting temperature prevents any burnt or bitter notes from getting into the final whiskey.

The whiskey stays unfiltered to keep the coffee's natural oils. These oils give it a thicker texture and let you taste the coffee gradually instead of all at once. Real Madagascar vanilla beans are steeped in the whiskey for 48 hours before bottling, which adds natural sweetness and takes away any harsh alcohol burn.

Hoyser Drunken Bean Coffee Whiskey Flavor Profile

Coffee & Vanilla Notes Fresh coffee hits your nose first, followed by a hint of sweet vanilla. The taste starts with espresso, then moves to roasted coffee beans. Dark chocolate and toasted nut flavors come from the Arabica beans themselves. The vanilla taste weaves through the coffee but stays in the background.

Smooth Whiskey Base This whiskey is 70 proof (35% alcohol), making it lighter than standard whiskeys that are usually 80 proof. The lower alcohol lets you taste more coffee and vanilla. You'll still get some caramel and oak flavors from the whiskey, but they don't overpower the coffee taste.

Foods That Go Well With Drunken Bean Coffee Whiskey

Dark chocolate desserts bring out the roasted coffee notes. Vanilla ice cream and pastries highlight the sweet vanilla flavor. The whiskey also goes well with smoked brisket or pulled pork - the coffee complements the smoke and cuts through the fat.

Blue cheese and aged gouda work great as late-night pairings. The whiskey's sweetness balances the strong cheese flavors. Spicy foods like buffalo wings or Thai curry taste good with this whiskey too. The sweet coffee flavor cools down the heat while keeping the spice taste intact.

Perfect Ways to Serve Hoyser Coffee Whiskey

Neat Pour Serving Tips

For a neat pour of Hoyser Drunken Bean Coffee Whiskey let the bottle sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before pouring if it's been in the fridge. This allows the coffee oils to spread evenly through the liquid and releases more aroma. Pour 2 ounces into a Glencairn whiskey glass or a small snifter so the coffee and vanilla scents concentrate at the top.

On The Rocks Serving Tips

For an on-the-rocks serve, use a single large ice cube instead of multiple small ones. Large cubes melt slower, which prevents the whiskey from getting watery too quickly. The first few sips will be chilled but still strong, and as the ice slowly melts, it opens up different layers of coffee flavor. The vanilla notes become more noticeable as the drink gets colder.

Temperature & Glassware Tips

Store the bottle between 60-65°F for everyday drinking. Colder temperatures dull the coffee taste, while anything above 70°F makes the alcohol too prominent. Always use room temperature glasses - a chilled glass can shock the whiskey and trap some flavors. A rocks glass works well for casual sipping, while a Glencairn glass is better for focusing on the aromas.

Hoyser Whiskeys Complete Range

The Hoyser distillery is known for producing four exceptionally unique whiskeys. While their coffee whiskey starts with their signature bourbon base, they also offer this bourbon on its own, along with spiced and maple variations that maintain the spirit's quality.

Original Bourbon

Hoyser's signature bourbon (90 proof, 178 calories per 1.5oz) starts with aromas of toasted corn and fresh vanilla. The taste is a balanced blend of caramel and honey from the 75% corn mash, complemented by black pepper and cinnamon notes from the rye. You'll notice a pleasant nutty finish from the malted barley that ties everything together.

Best Occasions:

As a whiskey that encourages good conversation, this bourbon feels at home at dinner parties and relaxed weekend evenings when you want something special but approachable.

Food Pairings:

Try this with grilled ribeye or smoked brisket - the bourbon complements the meat's char while handling the richness. Aged cheddar brings out the spice notes nicely, and dark chocolate makes an excellent dessert pairing that highlights the caramel flavors.

Spiced Whiskey

It's the natural spices that create depth in this 80-proof spirit (162 calories per 1.5oz). Vietnamese cinnamon and Indonesian nutmeg are the base notes, while earthy allspice and clove are responsible for making this whiskey's complexity. A touch of black pepper and Chinese star anise creates a balanced finish that keeps you interested.

Best Occasions:

This spiced version is great during winter gatherings and holiday celebrations. Fall evenings feel warmer with this in your glass, and it makes exceptional hot toddies and mulled drinks for seasonal entertaining.

Food Pairings:

Apple desserts highlight the spice blend beautifully. Spicy barbecue creates an interesting heat balance, while pumpkin pie and ginger cookies bring out the best in both the food and whiskey.

Maple Reserve

This 70-proof offering (158 calories per 1.5oz) is a combination of genuine barrel-aged maple syrup and smooth bourbon. The aroma combines natural maple with hints of butter and toast, while the taste is a balance of real maple sweetness with vanilla and oak notes from the bourbon base.

Best Occasions:

Weekend brunch takes on new life with this whiskey in your cocktails. It's a natural choice for dessert sipping or when you want something approachable after dinner.

Food Pairings:

Breakfast classics like bacon and sausage pair wonderfully with this maple bourbon. Roasted root vegetables bring out its warmth, and pecan pie creates a delicious harmony. It even makes French toast better - both as an ingredient and as an accompaniment.
