I only use cachaca to make caipirinhas, and I do not have a lot of cachacas available to me. The funky experience it provides is unlike any of there spirit. Similar to a smokey scotch, you'll probably love it or hate it. I really enjoy the Novo Fogo brand. The blanco is so funky, it is almost off-putting at first. But mix with lime and sugar, makes a cocktail unlike any other. I can only compare this to Leblon cachaca. The Leblon is much more grassy, while the Novo Fogo is more ripe fruit forward. I have noticed it is harder to find Novo Fogo in my area, and their other expressions are going up in price. For now, the blanco is ~$30 (Leblon is ~$25).
