Avua Amburana Cachaca 750 ml

Avuá Amburana is a Brazilian cachaça distilled from fresh-pressed sugarcane juice and aged in barrels made from amburana, a native Brazilian wood rather than the oak used for whiskey or rum, which gives it a distinctly spiced, almost cinnamon-like character you don't find in aged rum. The amburana wood brings warm baking spice, vanilla, and a light sweetness to the sugarcane base, closing smooth and aromatic rather than heavy. It's produced using traditional column and pot still methods common to small Brazilian cachaça houses. It suits drinkers who already enjoy rum or cachaça and want to taste what a distinctly Brazilian aging wood adds to the spirit, whether sipped neat or built into a caipirinha.

How to drink Avuá Amburana Cachaça

A caipirinha made with muddled lime and sugar is the traditional way to drink cachaça, and the amburana spice holds its own against the citrus better than an unaged cachaça would. Neat, a small pour at room temperature lets the cinnamon-like wood character show clearly.
