Avua - Amburana Cachaca 750ml

Avua Amburana Cachaca offers a rare taste of the Brazilian forest. While most spirits are aged in oak, this unique bottling rests in Amburana wood, a tree native to Latin America. This indigenous wood imparts a flavor profile that is completely distinct from traditional rums or whiskies. It captures the essence of the terroir, sourced from a single estate near the border of Minas Gerais and Rio de Janeiro. Here, specific hybridized sugar cane varieties are grown and harvested to create a fresh cane juice distillate of exceptional quality.

The aging process mellows the spirit and introduces a complex array of savory notes. Instead of the familiar vanilla found in oak, Amburana wood provides a stunning mix of warm spices and fruit. On the palate, you will find notes of juicy black cherry and spicy caraway. The natural funk of the sugar cane is softened, resulting in a liquid that is smooth and round. Cocktail historian Dave Wondrich calls it a "pure sipping spirit" unlike anything else in the world. Avua is also dedicated to sustainability. They replant these precious wood stocks and ensure their production supports the health of the Mata Atlantica forest. This is a spirit for the adventurous drinker who wants to experience the true heritage of Brazil.
