Review and Tasting

Sampled on 02/06/2016

Appearance

(sample bottle from sugar cane harvested in 2013) Crystal clear.

Aroma

Pungent, brown sugar, cut grass, pastry and icing sugar.

Taste

Unprocessed brown sugar with accompanying faint sweetness, cut grass and green apple skin with white pepper spice.

Aftertaste

Lingering brown sugar with lingering peppery spice. Faint cherry tomato notes.

Overall

Full-flavoured and fruitier than some cachaças with attractive grassy and green apple notes, a rustic character and enlivening white pepper spice.
