The Origins of the Name “Highlander Grogg”

The name “Highlander Grogg” brings together elements of storytelling and history. The word “grog” refers to a diluted rum drink sailors once enjoyed on long sea voyages, while “Highlander” pays homage to the rugged and rich cultural heritage of Scotland. Together, these elements inspire a coffee that’s smooth, with subtle hints of rum or scotch, giving it that distinctive, comforting character.

Iconic Flavors of Highlander Grogg Coffee

What sets this coffee apart are its carefully blended flavors. The combination of sweet butter rum, dark chocolate, caramel, and butterscotch toffee creates a smooth and indulgent drink. This unique mix offers the perfect balance of sweetness and depth, making it a delight with every sip. It also produces a distinct and intoxicating aroma!

As customer Matthew C. shared:

“The Highlander Grogg smells amazing, sweet butterscotch and chocolate notes; I brew it in my office and have had several people comment on how great the coffee smells. Luckily, it also tastes great.”

The aroma alone is enough to make it a favorite, but the flavor is what keeps people coming back.

How Mississippi Mud Coffee Creates Highlander Grogg

We’ve been making Highlander Grogg Coffee for the last 10 years. Since it’s inception it’s been a favorite with our wholesale cafe customers and on the website! At Mississippi Mud Coffee, each batch starts with high-quality beans that are air roasted. Air roasting prevents the beans from becoming bitter—a common issue with traditional roasting methods. Our roasting methods also ensures a smooth, even flavor that allows the natural characteristics of the beans to shine through.

Once roasted, we infuse the beans with our “Original Highlander Grogg” flavoring. This carefully crafted blend of flavors includes sweet butter rum, dark chocolate, caramel, and butterscotch toffee, giving the coffee its signature buttery and slightly boozy profile.

We offer Highlander Grogg to our customers in two convenient options: Whole Bean or Coffee Pods. Our Highlander Grogg Coffee pods are compostable and nitrogen-flushed for maximum freshness. Whether you prefer grinding your own beans or the ease of a pod, both formats deliver the rich, flavorful experience that has made Highlander Grogg a fan favorite.

How to Brew and Enjoy Highlander Grogg

For those looking to get the most out of their Highlander Grogg, here are some tips on how to brew and enjoy it:

• For Whole Beans: A medium to coarse grind works best, ensuring the flavors come through fully. Use an Automatic Drip or Chemex to brew.
• Serving Suggestions: Whether you prefer your coffee black or with milk or creamer, Highlander Grogg is delicious either way. Adding milk can enhance the buttery, caramel notes, making the coffee feel even more indulgent.
• Cold Brew Option: Highlander Grogg also makes for a fantastic cold brew. Simply grind the beans coarse, steep them in cold water for 12-18 hours. Then strain, and enjoy a refreshing cold brew that maintains all the rich, sweet flavors.
