Nose of cranberry and blackberry juice. Tastes like Mike and Ike candies. Blackberry and cherry syrup. It takes a moment for the base spirit to emerge, but it appears in the finish. More of an intriguing experience than a typical cachaça to consume.

About this bottle
Novo Fogo cachaça begins with estate-grown, certified-organic sugarcane, harvested and crushed within 24 hours, then fermented for a maximum of 18 hours. The Tanager expression is aged initially for one year in Four Roses bourbon barrels that have been disassembled, sanded, and lightly re-toasted. It then receives a finishing period of 2 to 3 months in arariba (Brazilian zebra-wood), which provides its red hue.

The aroma brings to mind apple cider. The taste follows with more apple cider, cinnamon bark, and spicy red candies. The finish holds on the tongue. A good drink for a chilly day.
Aroma: red hots, light fruit. Flavor: cinnamon bark, red hots. Finish: no alcohol burn, lingering cinnamon in the throat.
Enjoyable and unique on its own, but certainly better in cocktails.
My inaugural Cachaça. Tastes like spiced raw honey.
This spirit is truly outstanding.
