RD One Bourbon Finished with Brazilian Amburana Wood

Glass: Glencairn, rested 15 minutes. Color: Light-medium amber. Nose: The Cinnamon Toast Crunch note that people talk about is unmistakable here. It's all I can pick up, but not necessarily a bad thing. Palate: More of the same, with the cinnamon dialed up a bit, but it's still the dominant note. Finish: Very warm, but falls off quickly, leaving behind a slightly less warm, and different, finish. Splash: A sweeter clove note appears with the cinnamon dialed down slightly. Overall: 9/10 - This is my first amburana finished bourbon, and I was hesitant to try it based on what I'd heard. This is a divisive pour, people either love it or hate it. Perhaps I'll find another that I like better, but for now I can see myself sipping this quite often.

Cinomon and apple

Too much cinnamon
