FEW Cold Cut Bourbon Whiskey 750mL

FEW Cold Cut Bourbon Whiskey

Bourbon with Cold Brew Coffee | 46.5% ABV | 93 Proof | 750mL | Evanston, Illinois

Process & Profile

FEW Cold Cut Bourbon Whiskey takes an unusual approach to proofing: cask-strength FEW Bourbon is brought down to bottling strength using cold brew coffee. Produced by FEW Spirits in Evanston, Illinois, it combines the distillery’s bourbon character with roasted coffee depth, arriving in the bottle at 93 proof.

Whiskey remains at the center of the flavor, with cinnamon and clove supported by dark roasted notes. The coffee develops gradually across the palate, adding another layer to the bourbon’s spice. A smooth body leads into a soft, lingering finish, making Cold Cut an interesting choice for both sipping and whiskey cocktails.
