Bib & Tucker Small Batch Bourbon announced the release of Gold Roast Bourbon, a 6-Year Tennessee Bourbon finished with whole roasted Arabica coffee beans using a refined cold extraction method.

Gold Roast Bourbon is a celebration of two American traditions. Inspired by the turn of the century, when bourbon and coffee were rituals of connection, this release reimagines those traditions fuses the two.

Crafted using coffee beans from Muletown Coffee Roasters, a Tennessee-based company, Gold Roast Bourbon begins with Bib & Tucker’s 6-Year bourbon. Aged in new American oak barrels and passed through the Lincoln County Process for added smoothness, the bourbon is infused in its final stage with cold-steeped, custom-roasted Arabica coffee beans sourced from the Agalta region of Honduras. 

“With Gold Roast Bourbon, we set out to honor the timeless relationship between coffee and bourbon, two American rituals that have gone hand in hand since the turn of the century,” Alan Kennedy, Master Blender at Bib & Tucker, said in a news release. “Starting with our signature mash bill of corn, rye, and barley, we carefully crafted a spirit that could carry the richness of a proprietary Arabica coffee roast without overpowering the delicate character of our 6-Year Tennessee Bourbon.”

Every element of the Gold Roast process was designed to create a blend of whiskey tradition and coffee sophistication:

• The bourbon is first filtered through sugar maple charcoal in the traditional Lincoln County Process for added smoothness.
• It is then aged for a minimum of six years in new American oak barrels.
• Muletown’s Arabica coffee beans are then roasted to Kennedy’s specifications and introduced during the final stage of maturation.
• Finally, the finished bourbon is blended into the full batch for a smooth, balanced expression worthy of the Bib & Tucker name.

“Partnering with our neighbors Muletown Coffee was a natural choice for us,” Kennedy added. “Like our team, they’re deeply committed to a small-batch, artisan approach. They work with farmers to source direct trade coffee, valuing quality over quantity. Locally owned and rooted in Tennessee, Muletown’s attention to craft and origin mirrors our own, making them the ideal partner to bring this bourbon-coffee expression to life.”

Launching nationally in August 2025, Gold Roast joins Bib & Tucker’s small batch lineup as a year-round core expression (SRP: $49.99; 92 proof / 46% ABV). Consumers can purchase Gold Roast Bourbon in store and online at ReserveBar.com (where available).
