4oz - Jamaican Blue Moutain Coffee - coarse-ground
.25oz - Vanilla Bean, chopped, soaked in a small amount of whiskey
.2oz - Toasted Hazelnuts, (250°F until golden brown, removed every 5 minutes to pat dry and remove oils, until oils are no longer visible)

Optional: bourbon-soaked oak cubes before racking to secondary.
