With the Olympics going on I thought it would be cool to make some Caipirinhas in honor of it being held in Brazil. The clerk at Specs said this one was his favorite cachaca and boy could I not be more disappointed (with the clerk for recommending and myself for not doing my research first). It has almost no flavor and what flavor it does have is quite harsh. Even the lime juice and sugar was having a hard time cutting through it.

There some vegetal qualities. Make no mistake, this can only be used in caipirinhas, and even then it's not super great. Search out other cachacas.

This is the first Cachaça I had and I almost never had Cachaça again. It's not horrible for what it is (straight out the vat,) but it's not good either. I really thought Cachaça was not for me because of this product and while I was right, there is an upgrade from here. Try Leblon, it's far superior.

Samotné nepitelné, do caipirinhy v pohodě. Vůně alá agricole, ale chuť hodně prudká, ostrá, a lihová. Jediná cachaca co sem měl a očividně se dělají i o hodně lepší.

This has notes of earthy dryness akin to a rhum agricole, but also has harsh gasoline notes that come through loud and clear neat. Mixed its palatable and does an okay job.

Wasn’t wowwed by it. Had it in caipirinhas and to be honest I absolutely smashed through the bottle though. If someone bought me a bottle I’d be happy. But plenty more to try before I’d buy that again

I’ve been told by a native that cachaca does get sipped in Brazil. Just not this one which apparently costs just a few bucks down there. Certainly nothing subtle about the taste of this. Didn’t hate it though.

Never drink this alone. But used for your caipirinha it is no too bad.

Good base for tasty Caipirinhas. Nothing to drink neat, only for mixing, though.

Strong, but chemical cane juice character and little else to offer.
Nose is grassy, a bit rubbery but no spice or fruit that promises anything beyond a chemical bath that at least brought happy memories from experiencing darkroom work.

Unfortunately the palate and aftertaste is pretty much identical apart from a faint, grassy impression of cane juice. A caipirinha based on Pitù needs serious amounts of sugar before any flavours reminiscent of fruit or spice is revealed.

Made from freshly pressed sugar cane and it's rest in a wooden vat for several weeks before fermentation. Seems like it went through an organic fermentation before its actually fermented.

Vegetal and grassy in the glass with burnt tobacco and citrus notes of grapefruit peel.
It's dry and ashy/ smoky. Slightly green where manage to taste the raw alcohol, fresh basil and crushed pink peppercorn.
Peppery finishing with tobacco leafs and citrus peel.
Finishing wasn't up to expectation where it ended as soon as it's being consume and only left with ashy notes. Nevertheless, it's good product to mix in Caipirinha where its less leathery.
