Bold on the nose, powerful maple, brown sugar, big oak and honey rise immediately with undertones of cinnamon, sugar, aromatic bitters, caramel apple and woodspice
he palate is dense and rich, full of bold sweetness, plenty of oak, honey, toffee, caramel, Amburana spice, nutmeg and a dash of cinnamon. Impressive, richness, nice layers, easy drinking for near 60%, it's a sneaky drinker.
Long finish, this shines brightest as Amburana laces in nicely: sweet buttercream, bold oak, tobacco, honey and cinnamon, nutmeg and a hint of butterscotch on the finish. Light pops of extra spice from the Amburana here or there, integrated pleasantly with hefty oak, lovely maple.
Overall, this is easily the best Amburana finished anything on the market, bar none. It's a great combination of aged whiskey notes, some influence from the Amburana, big spice and sweetness, and plenty of oak to keep things complex and interesting.
