51 Light Cachaca

I would love to travel to Martinique, but until then, I can sample the rum for a taste of the island. A bit dry and oaky for my taste but quite flavorful.

51 is Fantastic and pure in it's form. to those who take things too seriously, this is Sugarcane elixir. it is net the distillate made out of sugarcane. there is no need to add anything to it., it is is pure in it's form. i drink this neat. would never waste this one an office ladies man sweetened lemons cocktail. i.e caipirinha. only neat and only straight. it is perfection in it's own niche, it is joy on the tongue, and if you are not sick it's a wonder when swallowed in the throat. drink it natural. as a real adventurer, man or woman. if you think this is a rough drink, sorry to tell you, you are soft, way too soft.
8/10 because i am sure that the Cachaca adventure still hides rarer gems someway on it's paths.

For an unaged Cachaca I can see why this is the number two selling spirit brand in the world. Let this sit in a glass pure for a bit before sipping. The scent is pure, very nice. The flavor is complex. It starts strong then dives to softness very smooth, the finish is sweet and medium long.

Goeie cachaça voor in een caipirinha. Lekker fruitig.

A good baseline cachaca to get one started down the interesting road that is sugarcane spirit.

If you want to taste a real caipirinhas you have to get this bottle. Get a big glass, cut 1,5 lime, 2 tea spoons of brown sugar and get to work crushing everything. Add crushed ice and cachaça and shake that baby!

Only once destilled, so there is a lot of sugar cane flavor. I like it.

Use this for a Caipirinha and it certainly won't dissapoint you. Scent and flavour are more from a light rum than a normal cachaca, but it perfectly matches the lime aromas.
I also use this as a light rum replacment for other mixes if I'm out of white mixing rum, something you shouldn't try with other cachacas i know.

Initial nose reminded me of tequila: citric, a bit grassy and nectar-y, definitely sassy. Does well when mixed, bringing out fruity and citric flavors (Caipirinha, Batida, etc.). Not bad when sipped either, though the bite can be a bit much at first. Ice or a drop of water and some time does some good.

This is the 1st cachaca I have ever tried and while it tastes rough neat, I believe it brings enough of the grassy notes to a basic caipirinha cocktail as well as a batida de coco. Can't wait to explore further with this class of spirits.
