Tasting Notes
Fresh sugarcane, grass, green banana, white pepper, lime zest (prata/branca). Cinnamon, vanilla, clove, baking spice, dried fruit, toffee (amburana-aged). Honey, stone fruit, toasted almond (jequitiba-aged). Floral, herbal, eucalyptus (balsamo-aged). The wood defines the aged expression — each native Brazilian hardwood creates a flavor profile that has no parallel in any other spirit.
