Thank you to @PBMichiganWolverine for the sample of this one. I think this is my first time trying anything aged in Amburana, which seems a little surprising considering lately you can't shake a stick in a liquor store without hitting a bottle of something Amburana finished. Incidentally, I've been banned from multiple liquor stores for shaking sticks in them.
The smell and taste of this is so much stewed cinnamon apples. Very sweet, almost artificial, and coming across like a liqueur. I've never tried an Ole Smoky flavored moonshine, but if they had a flavor called Apple Pie Filling and this was inside, I'd say they nailed it.
I think I like this a little better than previous tasters on here, but it's too sweet to enjoy much of. My one ounce sample was broken up into 3 separate tastings. It's interesting and unique. I imagine a creative cocktail could be created with this as the base, but I'm not much of a cocktailer.

@soonershrink you liked this a bit more than me, or @pkingmartin , but I think we had that following a Chichibu Peated…so was a very unfair competition. This purchase taught me a valuable lesson though: if a TRE sales rep tries to convince you to buy a bottle, steer clear.
@soonershrink I'm glad I'm not the only one stick-banned!
