Avuá Amburana (Aged) Brazilian Cachaça

Avuá Amburana Aged Brazilian Cachaça shines when sipped neat or over a large ice cube to fully appreciate its complex flavors, but it also makes an excellent base for tropical cocktails or as a unique twist in classic whiskey-based drinks; its warm spice notes and tropical fruit undertones make it perfect for sipping on balmy summer evenings or pairing with grilled meats and seafood dishes.

Nose: Warm and inviting with pronounced notes of cardamom, anise, and allspice. Tropical fruit aromas of banana and passionfruit mingle with a subtle hint of nutmeg. A touch of fresh-cut grass adds complexity.

Palate: Herbaceous and spicy at first, with nutmeg, cinnamon, and freshly cut hay. This gives way to sweet, overripe banana and dried apricot flavors. Citrus peel brightens the mid-palate. The distinctive amburana wood imparts unique notes of cherry and caraway.

Finish: Warm and lingering with a spicy kick. Wood notes reminiscent of cedar mingle with tropical fruit flavors. A pleasant dryness emerges, accompanied by a subtle sweetness that slowly fades, leaving a memorable impression of exotic spices and ripe fruit.

Avuá Amburana is crafted from hand-cut, estate-grown sugarcane that's pressed within four hours of harvest, fermented with wild yeast for 24 hours, then single-distilled in an alembic pot still before aging for up to two years in rare, sustainably-sourced Amburana wood casks—a process that imparts unique flavors unlike any other spirit in the world.
