THE PROCESS

We start with our Ugandan beans sourced through our direct trade relationship, and pour it into a freshly emptied Thomson French Oak barrel.

Over the course of months, the beans age in the sealed whisky barrel, slowly absorbing ambient moisture, aromatic oils, and residual whisky character left deep in the wood grain.

Temperature and humidity are monitored throughout to keep the ageing steady and controlled.

Once matured, the coffee is roasted to highlight the complex flavours developed in barrel, creating Big Whisky Vibes with layered notes of Apricot, 80% Dark Chocolate and French Oak.

It’s a process crafted by time and refined by character.

THomson Whisky

Mt Atkinson Coffee & Thomson Whisky share a story built on West Auckland grit, craft, and curiosity.

Thomson Whisky founded by Mathew and Rachael Thomson began in 2009 as a wild idea in a spare room. What started as an independent bottler grew into one of New Zealand’s most awarded craft distilleries, known for its Manuka-smoked single malts, inventive cask work, and a dedication to redefining what New Zealand whisky can be.

Our connection began with a simple question Jacob couldn’t shake: “What would happen if we aged green coffee inside a whisky barrel?”

So he reached out to Mat — and together they turned an idea into an annual tradition.
