  • Nose:

    So much amburana on the nose. Tons of cinnamon and fluffy French toast, brown sugar and gingerbread.

  • Taste:

    Amburana takes a back seat on the palate, which is loaded with clove and black pepper and oak, plus honey buns and raw cinnamon.

  • Finish:

    Amburana comes back in force on the finish, served up alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream and some pecan pie.

  • Overall:

    Despite not usually being a huge amburana fan, I quite like this! The amburana works nicely in tandem with the rye-heavy spirit.

  • Score:

    88
