Flavor Description

The Apaneca mountains are one of El Salvador’s key specialty regions. This Bourbon honey lot brings honey, brown sugar, roasted hazelnut, and a touch of citrus sweetness. The body is full without becoming muddy, and the finish carries a pleasant syrupy feel.

Why It’s Popular

This kind of honey-processed Bourbon is easy to enjoy: not too sharp, not too funky, and consistently sweet. That is exactly why many cafés like to carry this style.

Brewing Notes

  • Pour-over: Recommended water temperature 89–91°C, ratio 1:15
  • French press: Also works well, giving more caramel and nut character
