Some processes can have alcohol notes, due to fermentation. Like Carbonic Maceration coffee. Some natural and honey too but it depends, they’re less funky than cm or anaerobics. Then there’s also barrel aged coffees, typically in rhum barrels. It’s more like they’re flavored this way. They’re more common toward Christmas
This beans that I bought don't mention anything about being aged in a barrel. This is the bean https://kaffeekommune.de/products/costa-rica-sabana-redonda
Do you know if there are any techniques to brew coffee in a V60 to have this bourbon taste?
Yeah I didn’t mean this one, but in general. You can’t make a coffee tastes like bourbon by how you brew it. But you can choose coffees which have notes like wine, dark cherry, liquor etc. These are probably what will give you boozy notes. As per the brewing, I feel boozy notes are accentuated with a sweeter profile, likely with an higher extraction. One way to get that, for example, is trying a one or two minute long bloom. You can also try to grind finer or using an higher water temperature. But long bloom works well in my experience. Happy bean hunting!
Great tip!! I will try long blooming next time. Thank you!
Glad to be of help, let us know!
