Novo Fogo Silver

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.

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

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.

The perfect base for a caipirinha. The fruity florals are the perfect base for lime and mint.

This is some damn good stuff. Even though a real Batida de Maracujá e Coco calls for aged cachaça I have used this in place and find it makes the Batida even better. Also makes one hell of a caipirinha. I enjoy this more than Novo Fogo's barrel-aged variety, although that is nice as well.

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!

40% ABV. Big nose. Super funky. Rotten fruits. Corn. Easy entry. Dry and somewhat briny. I wouldn't mind stronger, but this is some good stuff!

7+, 8-

Great in a caipirinha, plays well with others in a caipifruta, respectable neat. Decent value. A proper introduction to unaged cachaça, enough to lead you down the rabbit hole.

Not just for the inevitable caipirinhas. Heavy cane and grass notes and a pretty thick taste. Will stand out in any mixed drink!

you can't go wrong with this one for cocktails. There will be no hangover nor sharp alkoholic taste. It lacks a bit on distinct floral aroma tough there are subtle ones. I would totally buy it again if I couldn't get my favourits.
