Novo Fogo Chameleon Cachaça

Novo Fogo Chameleon Cachaça shines in tropical cocktails, where its grassy, fruity notes can take center stage, but it's also delightful sipped neat or with a large ice cube to open up its flavors. This versatile spirit is perfect for warm weather sipping and pairs beautifully with grilled meats, fresh seafood, and citrusy desserts, making it an ideal choice for outdoor gatherings and beachside dinners.

Nose: Fresh sugarcane, green banana, and light oak aromas. Hints of vanilla and tropical fruit. Clean and grassy with a subtle earthiness.

Palate: Smooth and mellow. Flavors of caramelized banana, toasted nuts, and light spice. Gentle sweetness balanced by oak tannins. Notes of coconut and cinnamon emerge.

Finish: Medium-length with lingering warmth. Pleasant mix of wood and fruit flavors. Slight pepper and vanilla linger, with a clean, crisp fade.

Novo Fogo Chameleon Cachaça is crafted from organic sugarcane grown on the distillery's own coastal rainforest estate in Brazil. After harvesting, the fresh sugarcane juice is fermented with wild yeast and then distilled in copper pot stills before being aged for one year in repurposed oak barrels, resulting in a unique spirit that balances the grassy freshness of unaged cachaça with subtle wood notes.

• Novo Fogo Chameleon Cachaça is aged in repurposed oak barrels that once held bourbon, giving it a unique flavor profile that blends traditional Brazilian cachaça notes with subtle hints of American whiskey.
• The "Chameleon" in its name isn't just for show - this cachaça actually changes color when mixed with tonic water, shifting from a light amber to a pinkish hue due to its natural organic compounds.
• Novo Fogo's distillery in Brazil is powered entirely by renewable energy sources, including gravity-fed water from a nearby waterfall and bagasse (leftover sugarcane fibers) used as biofuel, making it one of the most environmentally sustainable spirit producers in the world.
