Bourbon Barrel-Aged Coffee, 5.5 oz Bottle: profile and selection
This 5.5-ounce bottle is the smallest presentation of Hemisphere Bourbon Barrel-Aged Coffee. Nicaraguan green coffee rests in a recently emptied white-oak bourbon barrel before roasting. The medium roast is described with oak, caramel and nutty sweetness plus a bourbon-like aromatic impression.
The current listing does not name a farm, producer, cultivar, elevation, original green-coffee process, barrel-aging duration or harvest year.
This page keeps documented origin, roast, process, format and tasting language separate from details that have not been supplied. Confirm the selected grind and package in the cart before ordering.

Brew for balance, clarity and finish
Measure 15 grams of beans and 240 grams of filtered water for a small paper-filter brew. Smell the freshly ground coffee before adding water, then compare that aroma with the completed cup. Taste it black first so the oak and bourbon-like aromatic character can be assessed without syrup or milk masking the distinction.
If the coffee tastes hollow or sharply sour, grind slightly finer. If the oak character is accompanied by an unpleasantly dry finish, move coarser. Hold dose, water and temperature steady while changing grind. The bottle contains about 156 grams, so measured doses preserve enough coffee for several meaningful trials.
Use a scale for both dose and water. Beverage yield, drawdown and total contact time are diagnostic measurements rather than goals by themselves. Evaluate body, acidity, clarity and finish together, then make the smallest practical adjustment.
Whole-bean customers can use a consistent grinder such as the Turin DF54 grinder to make controlled adjustments. If ordering prepared grounds, match them to a compatible brewing method; a fixed grind cannot be optimized across every filter, press and espresso setup.
Who this coffee suits
The bottle contains roasted whole beans, not a ready-to-drink beverage. Hemisphere states that the coffee contains no alcohol; the bourbon reference describes the barrel treatment and sensory impression. Choose this smaller bottle for an exploratory format, and select the ten-ounce bag if prepared grounds are needed.
Roast development affects solubility as well as flavor. A light roast may need more extraction than a dark roast, while a darker coffee may respond well to a coarser grind or slightly cooler water. Follow the cup rather than applying one recipe to every roast.
Freshness, storage and package planning
The listed package is 5.5 oz whole-bean coffee. Seal it after each use and keep it away from heat, moisture, sunlight and strong aromas. Grind only the amount needed for the next brew when whole bean is selected.
Fresh coffee releases gas after roasting, and that degassing can change bloom and flow during the life of the package. Note the first successful grinder setting, but expect small corrections rather than treating one number as permanent.

Ordering and shipping
This coffee ships directly from the roaster partner. Roasted coffee does not qualify for free shipping; shipping charges are set by the partner. Coffee orders are not eligible for returns or cancellations, so confirm the bag size, grind and caffeine selection before ordering.
Review the exact variant in the cart. When the shipment arrives, retain the roaster label and record the selected format with the first brew. That makes recipe changes and reordering more reliable than relying on the product name alone.
