I have not had much luck with cachacas, especially after drinking Ypioca many years ago. This one is not repulsive, especially compared to the few very bad rums that I have had the misfortune of trying recently over the past 3 months of intense research. It is distinctively cachaca, but the floral tones make it almost able to sip neat. After all, it was specifically intended for the USA market, which is only one percent of all cachaca produced. This one would also lend itself to more drinks than just caipirinhas. Now if only the Abelha brand could become available in the USA, I would be more than glad to try those.
As for the caipirinha that is the national drink of Brazil, it is nothing more than the original Cuban Daiquiri made with Brazilian cachaca instead of rum. Cachaca is basically the Brazilian version of rhum agricole distilled from sugar cane juice. The vast majority of rum is distilled from the by-product of sugar refining, which is molasses. The holy trinity of the Caribbean which the Daiquiri is based upon consists of lime, sugar, and rum. The vast differences in the tastes of rums and cachacas is what really makes the difference in cocktails, which is why we all need to learn from these reviews and other sources.
Update on March 22, 2018: I sampled three different juices mixed in equal parts with this cachaca while smoking some Jamaican jerk chicken outdoors on this gorgeous spring day. The results will describe the flavors of this one better than any other description. The first "juice" was one part lime juice and two parts simple syrup to three parts cachaca. This is based on the old Bajan rhyme, "One of sour, Two of sweet, Three of strong, Four of weak", with weak meaning ice cubes or water. This was basically my Caribbean version of the caipirinha and very close to tasting like the Brazilian version. This one worked best and was really good. Then came equal parts coconut juice and Leblon. This was good, but an artisanal cachaca would work better because this juice really allows the cachaca flavors to show. The third choice would have been my theoretical best, but equal parts pineapple nectar and Leblon basically obliterated any taste of cachaca. So if you happen to get a bad cachaca, pineapple nectar will disguise the taste much better than in a caipirinha. Adding equal amounts of the coconut mixture to the remaining pineapple mixture in the glass proved to be a very poor excuse for a Pina Colada that really needs rum. Hope this all helps!
Update March 25, 2018: There were no ill after effects after drinking too much Leblon, so my rating remains at a 5, which means that I would consider buying it again, especially when I get in a mood for a very different taste in my rums.
I'm inexperienced with cachaca, but was suitably satisfied with this one's bones tasted in a caipirinha or two.
this taste exacly like tequila but with way more sugar than normal
This cachaca isn't bad. You can enjoy it straight though does better mixed. Fruity, grassy and semi sweet Cachaca that is relatively smooth with no harsh flavors or strong burn at the back end.
Not as tasty as it looks. Maybe a better mixer but not meant to be ingested neat or on the rocks.
Clear, smells a bit like chocolate tequila. Not much of a sipper. But this is he first Cachaca I've had so my review is rookie.
In my opinion, this is the best cachaca for mixing. I believe it's a capirina..
To my understanding, this was formulated for the US market, yet the first time I had it was in a caipirinha in Sao Paulo. It's great for caipirinhas and other cocktails, but I wouldn't want to sip it as I would a true premium cacacha.
Ordered this and wished I hadn't. OK as a mouthwash perhaps or lost in a Rum punch
Not what I expected at first. On the nose this has the scent that instantly reminded me of long nights and Silver Patron. With that in mind, I did not put this near cola. I followed the directions to make a caprihana and it was actually delicious. I was extremely impressed in how the muddled lime and sugar could transform this very intense flavor into a tame beast. It still even tasted like Patron with lime. Taking that into consideration, it is much cheaper than Patron and I might try it out next time I have people over to see if they can notice the difference.

A good cachaca to start with, itΒ΄s smooth and makes good caipirinhas.
