Sagatiba is the brainchild of Brazilian entrepreneur Marcos de Moraes, who sought to launch a cachaça brand that would become an international household name. Sagatiba translates as 'infinite possibilities', or more literally 'eternal search'. Pura is distilled from cane juice and is unaged.

Review and Tasting

Sampled on 08/09/2024

Appearance:

Crystal clear.

Aroma:

Bread and cookie dough with overripe banana, vegetal, caramel and toasted brazil nuts. Not as pungent as some other brands of cachaça.

Taste:

Bready with an almost minty freshness, buttery nuts, cookie dough, caramel, white peppery spice and faint vegetal notes. Fairly subdued and without the pronounced grassiness of some cachaças.

Aftertaste:

Lingering white pepper spice, cookie dough and faint breadiness.

Overall:

Subdued in character compared to artisanal cachaças but an accessible introductory cachaça that, in the UK and many other countries, popularised the cachaça category.
