Two new Irish flavored brews have been released by Starbucks in the run up to St. Patrick’s Day this week.
‘Barrel-Aged Cold Brew’ and ‘Barrel-Aged Con Crema’ are being sold at the Starbucks Roastery store in the corporation’s hometown of Seattle, Washington. Irish whiskey fans rejoice!
The first is served with a large cube of ice and the second is served in a glass mug.
The coffee beans are then added into a whiskey barrel after which they are "hand-rotated frequently to ensure all the coffee comes into contact with the oak barrel," according to Starbucks.

Then both drinks are sweetened with vanilla syrup and finally the con crema is finished with cascara sugar and foam.
"The process takes time, care and patience, ensuring we deliver a distinct experience that stays true to the specialness of the coffee while imparting the complementary, distinguished flavor of the oak-aged barrel," Starbucks employee Duane Thompson told journalists in a press release. "You get those earthy notes mingling with the oak to create a cup that's unlike any other."
