Amburana (Amburana cearensis) is also known as Brazilian oak, named after the country from which the majority of Amburana trees are grown. It is a wood commonly associated with the aging of a Brazilian spirit, Cachaça, a sugarcane spirit similar to rum. Amburana tends to reduce acidity in a beverage, highlighting more beverage flavor while contributing its own sweet and savory flavors of gingerbread and vanilla. Herbal notes of thyme can also be detected.
Place directly into wine, beer, or spirits to get a unique wood flavor. Flavor is fully extracted in about 6 weeks. Withdraw sooner for a milder taste. We suggest 2 sticks for 5-6 gallons of beer or wine. The spirals can easily be snapped into smaller pieces for a more controlled flavor.
Two pieces, each 8 inches in length.
