Novo Fogo Barrel-aged Cachaça
What it is
Novo Fogo Barrel-aged Cachaça is a premium Brazilian spirit made from sugarcane. It is aged in oak barrels, which imparts complex flavors and a smooth texture. This cachaça is significant in cocktails due to its unique profile that combines the grassy notes typical of unaged cachaça with the depth and richness brought by barrel aging. It is an excellent choice for cocktails that require a sophisticated twist, such as a Caipirinha or a Cachaça Sour.

How it is made
Novo Fogo Barrel-aged Cachaça is made from freshly pressed sugarcane juice, which is fermented and distilled. The spirit is then aged in American oak barrels for a period of time, allowing it to develop its rich flavors and smooth finish.
History
Cachaça has been produced in Brazil since the 16th century, but Novo Fogo was founded in 2012 with a focus on sustainable practices and high-quality production. The barrel-aged version was introduced to elevate the traditional spirit and showcase its versatility in cocktails.

Bartenders use Novo Fogo Barrel-aged Cachaça to create innovative cocktails that highlight its complex flavors. It can be served neat, on the rocks, or as a base spirit in cocktails. For best results, pair it with fresh citrus juices or herbal ingredients to enhance its natural sweetness and depth.
Worth knowing
