Jumping Goat Cold Brew Coffee Infused Whiskey Liqueur
Jumping Goat Cold Brew Coffee Infused Whiskey Liqueur is New Zealand's cult coffee liqueur with a smoky twist: cold-brewed organic coffee fused with Scotch whisky, bottled at 33% ABV (66 proof) in a 750mL bottle. Made in Tauranga, NZ from 100% organic batch-roasted beans, it drinks like a real cup of cold brew that grew up — bittersweet, slightly smoky, and dangerously smooth. It is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.

The Goat That Jumped Into Whisky
Jumping Goat is named for Kaldi's goats of Ethiopian legend, who danced after nibbling coffee cherries — and the brand leans into the mischief. The original cold-brew liqueur blends organic coffee with pure New Zealand whey vodka and spices; the whisky version adds a hearty splash of Highlands Scotch (Tomintoul) for smoke and depth. Every bottle starts with some 50 grams of organic, batch-roasted coffee beans, giving it roughly double the caffeine of an energy drink per 100mL and a genuine cold-brew character most coffee liqueurs only imitate. Multiple international awards — including Double Gold at the San Francisco Spirits Awards — back up the attitude.
Tasting Notes
Bittersweet and slightly smoky on the nose, with real freshly-ground coffee up front and a wisp of Highland malt behind it. The palate is light yet round: dark chocolate, roasted Arabica, hints of cinnamon and allspice, and that pleasant nutty-smoky whisky warmth. The higher ABV gives it a warming, grown-up edge over standard coffee liqueurs, finishing on coffee and gentle smoke.
How to Enjoy
Shake hard with vodka for a proper Espresso Martini — the signature serve — or pour over ice for a late-night sipper. It also mixes into a "Goat 'n Stormy" (ginger beer, lime) or simply rides alongside an espresso shot.
