Avuá Amburana Cachaça is made at a family owned distillery established in 1923 in a small town in a valley four hours north of Rio de Janeiro. It is distilled from first pressed fermented sugar cane juice and then aged for up to 2 years in vats made from a rare Brazilian hardwood known as Amburana.
In 2009, two New York entrepreneurs, Nate Whitehouse and Pete Nevenglosky, discovered just how good Brazil’s native spirit could be and set about finding a distiller to supply them high quality cachaça and creating a brand name and packaging to convey that quality, the result being Avuá Cachaça.
Review and Tasting
Sampled on 17/07/2013
Appearance:
Clear, very pale yellow
Aroma:
Overripe banana and banana chips with creamy vanilla, passion fruit and faint nutmeg.
Taste:
Slightly honeyed but with drying spice – cinnamon, nutmeg and cracked black pepper. Sweet overripe banana and dried apricot fruitiness with faint basil notes. The oak influence is profound and yet strangely subtle.
Aftertaste:
Dry spicy finish with lingering dry oak and tropical fruit.
