Tasting Notes
"The aroma of the cachaça is filled with floral notes of raw sugarcane which are amplified by the proof of the spirit. Bitter minerals and chewy cane cover the one-two punch of the flavor profile. Mineral notes linger in the medium-length finish. When using it in a cocktail, carefully balance its bitterness with citrus and sweet ingredients."
