We found notes of black cherry, chocolate, raw hazelnut, and, of course, oak and bourbon. The structure is provided by a golden raisin sweetness and the bright-toned grapefruit acidity. The finish is pleasantly sweet, hinting at grape candy and brown sugar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eThis coffee roasts and ships on Mondays and Thursdays only\u003c\/strong\u003e.

This is our fourth collaboration with TWS, and we think it's the best one yet.

This is done in batches of 35lbs at 11.6% moisture content.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe barrel is agitated at least once per day for a week, aging in a 75º warehouse at 52% humidity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAfter seven days in the barrel, the coffee is removed weighing 37 pounds at 14.1% moisture content. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe coffee is sealed in a bag and rested to homogenize to 13.7% moisture content.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNext, the coffee is dried prior to roasting. It spends 2 hours in the roaster at 95\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eº-105\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eº with full airflow, bringing the moisture content down to 12.2%. This \"low and slow\" approach avoids losing organic matter in the coffee and stripping out volatile compounds from the bourbon itself.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinally... into the roaster! At a light roast, the barrel-aged coffee is smooth and sweet with notes of dark chocolate, cherry, marzipan, and bourbon.
