Bourbon Barrel-Aged Coffee, 11 oz Bottle: profile and selection
Eleven ounces of whole beans make this the larger bottled presentation of Hemisphere Bourbon Barrel-Aged Coffee. Nicaraguan green coffee is aged in a white-oak barrel that previously held bourbon, then medium roasted. Oak, sweet caramel, nutty notes and a bourbon-like essence define the stated profile.
The current listing does not publish a farm, producer, cultivar, elevation, original green-coffee process, barrel-aging duration, harvest year or current cupping score.
This description separates documented coffee facts from information the supplier has not published. Confirm the selected size and grind in the cart before ordering.

Brew for the documented roast and profile
Start with 18 grams of beans and 290 grams of filtered water for a paper-filter brew. Use a medium grind and water around 198–202°F. Smell the grounds before brewing, then split the beverage into two servings: keep one black and add a measured milk portion to the other for a direct comparison.
If the cup is thin and sharply sour, grind finer. If the oak character is joined by a drying finish, move coarser. Treat beverage yield and drawdown as diagnostic information, not goals on their own. Keep dose and water fixed for the first adjustment so the eleven-ounce bottle supports several controlled trials.
Use a scale for dose and water. Beverage yield, drawdown and contact time are diagnostic measurements rather than goals by themselves. Evaluate body, acidity, clarity and finish together, then make the smallest useful adjustment.
Whole-bean customers can use a consistent grinder such as the Turin DF54 grinder to make controlled adjustments. Prepared grounds are convenient when their particle size matches the brewer, but one fixed grind cannot suit every filter, press and espresso setup.
Who this coffee suits
The bottle contains roasted whole beans that still need grinding and brewing. Hemisphere states that its barrel-aged coffee contains no alcohol. Choose this larger bottle for presentation and whole-bean flexibility; choose the ten-ounce bag if prepared grounds or a simpler storage format is more useful.
Roast development affects flavor and solubility. A light roast may need more extraction than a dark roast; a darker coffee may respond better to a coarser grind or slightly cooler water. Let the cup guide the recipe.
Freshness, storage and quantity planning
The stated package is 11 oz. Seal it after each use and store it away from heat, moisture, sunlight and strong aromas. Grind only the amount needed for the next brew when selecting whole beans.
Fresh roasted coffee releases gas, and degassing can change bloom, flow and perceived clarity over the life of the package. Keep the first successful recipe, but expect small grind corrections rather than treating one setting as permanent.
