Creamy amburana nose. Clean and buttery. Amburana is the star. A touch of oak and dried fruits in the finish. Being new to Amburana and Cachaca, it's an acquired taste but easily deciphered as a quality presentation.
Interesting cinnamon flavor on top of other cachaca flavors such as vanilla and banana. I enjoyed it as aperitif prior to dinner.
Aroma is banana and cinnamon; tastes like fruity, spicy cinnamon sugar; finishes like snickerdoodles
Same style and price bracket, best rated first.
