Frequently Asked Questions

What is Amburana wood and what does it do to bourbon?

Amburana (Amburana cearensis) is a Brazilian hardwood species used in cachaça and some South American spirits production — now increasingly adopted by American craft distillers for finishing. Amburana imparts very distinctive flavors: cinnamon, coconut, vanilla, and a distinctive dry spice character unlike any flavor contribution from American, French, or European oak. The wood’s high content of coumarin (a compound with cinnamon-like aroma) is the primary driver. Lucky Seven’s New Yorker is one of a small number of American bourbons using Amburana finishing to produce a genuinely unusual flavor profile.

What does double-oaked mean in bourbon?

Double-oaked bourbon is aged in two separate sets of barrels sequentially — the standard new charred oak barrel, then transferred to a second new charred oak barrel (or sometimes a different wood or char level) for additional maturation. The second barrel adds further oak extraction, tannin, and wood-derived sweetness on top of the primary aging. Lucky Seven’s Holiday Toast at 115 proof undergoes this double-oaking process, producing a richer and more assertive oak character than the standard barrel-aged expressions.
