Tanager Cachaça

Cachaça (kah-SHA-sah) is Brazil’s national spirit made from fresh-pressed sugarcane juice. Novo Fogo Organic Tanager Cachaça is pot-distilled from estate sugarcane and aged in American oak and Brazilian zebrawood at our zero-waste distillery in Brazil's Atlantic Rainforest. This expression was the first two-woods cachaça broadly available in the USA and it mixes the Brazilian South’s two favorite woods. We age this cachaça in repurposed oak barrels and araribá (zebrawood) for a natural red color and a distinctive mountain earthiness. This punchy cachaça suggests tropical fruit, grass, cinnamon bark, and other holiday spices; it can be sipped alone or as the base spirit in twists of classic cocktails like the Sazerac.
