Product description
AVUÁ PREMIUM CACHACA "OAK" - 40% VOL - 0,7 L - BRAZIL
Avuá Cachaça is an artisanal, small-batch sugarcane brandy from the fourth-generation family business, Fazenda da Quinta, in the highlands of Rio de Janeiro.
We have summarized details on the production of Avuá Cachaça in an extra article, as well as a brief description of what Cachaça actually is.
For the Avuá Oak, the base distillate is aged for 12-24 months in French oak barrels (Quercus robur), in which white wine was previously stored. French oak casks are one of the most common for many different spirits, so Avuá Oak's aroma and flavor may also be the most familiar.
The aroma of sugar cane is complemented by a subtle note of vanilla and a 'typical' wood tone and initially appears drier and spicier than all other Avuá Cachaça.
Woody and slightly bitter notes also emerge on the palate, accompanied by a hint of vanilla and fresh grass. Its characteristics are definitely reminiscent of a rum. Technically there are hardly any differences anyway, but all other variants of the Avuá have very unusual and special properties due to the tropical wood storage. But maybe that's why the Oak is so much fun!
Drinking recommendation:
Enjoy the first sip pure - as with any spirit! And actually also the next sips. Anyone who likes to enjoy a glass of (unsweetened) rum will also find Avuá Oak pure in a nosing glass fantastic and can thus broaden their horizons a bit.
Of course, the similarity to rum also makes it easier for mixologists. All drinks based on aged rum will also work with Avuá Oak.
For example, an Old Fashioned Twist with 5cl Avuá Oak, 1cl sugar syrup and a few dashes of orange bitters is outstanding, but classics like a Mai Tai or Planter's Punch also work great with the Oak.
