Sagatiba Pura
- $25
Though it smells like vanilla-mint Lifesavers, the flavor of this cachaça is bright and lightly sweet, with some spicy notes on the finish. Soft feel. Good value.

Avuá Amburana
- $45
This luscious cachaça is aged up to two years in barrels made from a rare Brazilian wood called amburana, hence the name. That aging time yields a pale straw hue and distinct notes of banana and honey, with a spicy fillip of cayenne and cassia bark doused with brown sugar.

Maison Leblon Reserva Especial Caçhaca
- $30
Most caçhacas are crystal-clear, but this unique aged version has a pretty amber cast and enticing aromas that evoke butterscotch and hazelnut. The flavor runs to brown sugar, with a warm, nutty finish. Delicious, and new to the market as of summer 2012.

Cabana Cachaça
- $35
Distinctive vanilla scent with a light floral note. This cachaça has strong, sweet flavor, a thick mouth-coating texture and a custardy finish. Adding ice and soda lightens this spirit, so it almost reads like gin & tonic. Excellent for caipirinhas.

Sagatiba Velha
- $30
Two years of barrel aging create a soft amber color and an oaky, light caramel scent. This spirit benefits from a little time in the glass to open up, but results in a rich, brown-sugar flavor with a nutty, oaky finish.

Ypioca Cachaça Prata
- $27
This estate-produced cachaça has a candied-fruit scent and a mellow, earthy flavor with a lingering sweet vanilla note. Soft, smooth feel. Although it’s aged two years, it’s still crystal clear.

Pitú Gold
- $30
Golden and bright, this spirit tends toward the herbal side, with almost cola-like sweet vanilla and anise notes perked up by grass and bell pepper flavors. Enjoy with squares of dark chocolate.

Novo Fogo Gold Organic Cachaça
- $35
Certified organic and matured in repurposed Bourbon casks for at least two years, this aged cachaça has a tawny color and thick butterscotch aroma. Crème brûlée and coconut flavors are chased by a lingering caramel and oak finish.
