Barrel-Aged Cachaça

Cachaça (kah-SHA-sah) is Brazil’s national spirit made from fresh-pressed sugarcane juice. Novo Fogo Organic Barrel-Aged Cachaça is pot-distilled from estate sugarcane and aged for two years in ex-bourbon barrels at our zero-waste distillery in Brazil's Atlantic Rainforest. This aged spirit bakes the banana notes from the un-aged cachaça in American oak ex-bourbon barrels. The heat and humidity of the rainforest changes the spirit to the flavors of banana bread, with notes of chocolate, cinnamon bark, coffee, and black pepper.
