While the amburana notes in RD1 10 Year Amburana Finished Bourbon are not at all overbearing, there is no mistaking their presence throughout. The nose has sweet hot cinnamon syrup with toasted walnuts and hints of smoke and oak. As I acclimate to amburana’s flavors, sweet light caramel and vanilla become more noticeable with each sip.
The taste leads off with hot cinnamon and simple syrup sweetness, with some light caramel, too. As time goes on, the cinnamon becomes progressively more spicy, and lingers through the long finish. Later on, the mouthfeel becomes increasingly dry, with dry oak and char becoming more noticeable. There a pleasant deep warmth with the hot cinnamon spice, char and dry oak lasting for quite a long time.
