Admittedly I have somewhat of a negative bias against Cachaca, at least with regards to drinking it straight. The only reason I purchase Cachaca is because I think the Caipirinha is a fantastic cocktail and this category of spirit works wonderfully for it. Nevertheless, I review based on how the spirit stands alone and neat. With this in consideration I confess Cachacas are not the most drinkable on their own, at least not the bottles that are carried in stores near me. I'm sure there is some fantastic Cachaca out there that holds its own as a sipper, but I have yet to discover it. That said, this is quite drinkable on it's own, especially after the first one or two sips as one acclimates to the ethanol burn. This Cachaca is not overly complex, I mainly get 3 notes: banana, fresh cane juice, and grassy/herbaceous. On the nose one immediately gets the scent of banana, followed by herbal notes. On the palate banana comes first, followed by fresh cane juice with grassiness that comes last and amalgamates with the cane juice. I really like the cane juice flavor as it's nostalgic from my vacations down south, tastes just like biting into fresh cane and tasting the juices that come out. The finish is mostly grassy with a slight ethanol burn at the end. However, do note that the ethanol burn with be much more pronounced on the initial sip. Overall, one of the best Cachacas I have had, definitely prefer this over Leblon which I would reserve only for cocktails.

From the excellent fruity cane nose to the flavorful spicy clean smooth taste an all around champ. Easily the best Cachaca that was never aged in wood just rested 1 year in stainless steel. This beats out most aged Cachaca actually with it's inability to burn the throat. The only complaint I have is the short finish. Overall a great clean choice you get up after a night drinking this ready to go with no ill effect.

Very refined and clean taste without the aggressive alcohol burn of cheaper chachasas.. Makes for an excellent Caipirinha!

Compared to some others, not as robust a flavor as other cachacas. Pretty decent in a mixed cocktail even if does lack some dimension.

It stands up WONDERFULLY in a caipirinha, which is what silver cachaça is often used for. However, you could sip this on its own. It's very forward with sugar cane. You can smell it and taste it immediately. It smells like a sugar cane plantation after it's rained; it's wet, lush, earthy, tropical. It's the essence of the jungle. It smells like sugar cane stalks, bell peppers, and fresh banana flowers. The aroma is very complex and beautiful. The taste is sugar cane forward, with bell peppers, cucumber, and a somewhat citrus quality. It could easily make a wide variety of fruity, tropical cocktails. It's decently smooth, but has a little bit of a kick to it. The finish lasts pretty long, in a pleasant grassy, tropical way. It's a cool bottle to have in stock and always makes an amazing caipirinha. I highly recommend that you keep a bottle in stock.

When I see this on a bar shelf, I order a caipirinha. I give the Bar Strength version an extra point.

Part of the covid home rum tasting by Laka Lono in 2020.
Notes indicate that we were warned we would like the others better ?? and that I liked the finish.

Tasted at Laka Lono on 12/27/19. Pours clear. Has the classic cachaca aroma of agricultural bread dough rising. Palate is smooth with a bit of back end pepper. tastes like biscuits. Love it!

Young rum with a grassy taste but not for me. Best Cachaca that I have drank so far
