Founded by spirits restaurateur Tommy Tardie and his wife, Davi, The Morning Dram makes specialty coffee for whiskey drinkers by resting green beans in freshly emptied spirits barrels before roasting. The New York City-based brand grew from Tardie’s decade running spirits-focused restaurants, including The Flatiron Room, named Whisky Magazine’s 2021 Best Whisky Bar in America. Its barrel-aged coffees contain no alcohol, flavorings, or additives—just coffee beans shaped by the aromas of charred oak and the barrels’ former spirits.
