Three Chord Amburana & Cherry Bounce Barrel Finished Cask Strength, 58.2%
Price: ● Issue: Spring 2025 ● Reviewer: Julia Higgins ● Category: Rye Whiskey
Amburana can be overwhelming, but this rye is proof positive that the polarizing casks can be wielded for good. Crème patisserie, cinnamon powder, and blueberry maple syrup fire up the nose, but the real strength of the tempered amburana comes through on the palate, where simple syrup and cinnamon sugar meld with fresh red fruit, cherry cola, whipped cream, and vanilla soft serve. The finish lingers, and packs flavors of candied nuts, molasses, sugar cookie, and maple syrup. (Release date: 1/25)
