Los Andes, Washed Bourbon, El Salvador

los andes is a washed bourbon from the santa ana region of el salvador, roasted by drop coffee roasters and recognised as a cup of excellence lot. the washed process keeps the cup clean and precise, letting the bourbon variety express itself clearly. expect red apple and almond in the cup, a combination that reads as bright but grounded, with a natural nuttiness behind the fruit. filter brewing suits this style well, where clarity and delicacy come through most. a standard filter ratio around 1:16 with water just off the boil will give you a clean, balanced result.
