What is Avuá Oak Cachaça?

Avuá Oak Cachaça offers a unique twist on Brazilian rum, aging sugarcane spirit in French oak barrels previously used for white wine to create a smooth, vanilla-tinged sip. Interestingly, each bottle is numbered to reflect the specific growing season of its sugarcane, making every batch a limited edition that captures the subtle nuances of that year's harvest.

Why do we love Avuá Oak Cachaça?

Cocktail enthusiasts will appreciate Avuá Oak Cachaça for its unique aging process in French oak barrels previously used for white wine, imparting distinctive vanilla and butterscotch notes, as well as its single-sourced, hand-crafted production from estate-grown sugarcane that's milled within four hours of harvesting, resulting in a spirit that truly captures the terroir of its Brazilian origins.

How do you drink Avuá Oak Cachaça?

Avuá Oak Cachaça shines when sipped neat or over a large ice cube, allowing its complex vanilla and fruit notes to unfold, but it also excels in spirit-forward cocktails like Old Fashioneds or as a sophisticated base for tropical drinks; its rich flavor profile makes it ideal for cooler evenings or paired with grilled meats and bold cheeses.

Tasting Notes

How It's Made

Fun Facts

Product Details

Nose: Fresh sugarcane juice with hints of vanilla and caramel. Subtle oak notes mingle with tropical fruit aromas, particularly ripe pineapple and banana. A touch of grassy freshness and light floral notes round out the bouquet.

Palate: Smooth and well-balanced. The initial sweetness of brown sugar and butterscotch quickly gives way to more complex flavors. Toasted oak and vanilla blend with bright citrus notes, particularly orange peel. Underneath, there's a subtle earthiness reminiscent of fresh vegetation and wet stone.

Finish: Medium to long, with a pleasant warmth. The sweetness fades, leaving behind a slightly dry, lightly bitter oak character. Lingering notes of baking spices - particularly cinnamon and nutmeg - mingle with hints of dark chocolate and a final whisper of fresh sugarcane.

Avuá Oak Cachaça is crafted from hand-cut sugarcane that's pressed within four hours of harvest, fermented with wild yeast for 24 hours, then single-distilled in an alembic pot still before aging for up to two years in French oak casks previously used for white wine—a process that combines traditional methods with unique aging to create a distinctively smooth and complex spirit.

Avuá Oak Cachaça is distilled using a water wheel-powered mill, a centuries-old technique that not only preserves tradition but also results in a more sustainable production process with a lower carbon footprint.

The casks used to age Avuá Oak Cachaça are made from French oak trees that previously housed white wine, imparting unique flavors that you won't find in other cachaças or rums.

Each bottle of Avuá Oak Cachaça is numbered to reflect the specific growing season of the sugarcane used, making every batch a limited edition that captures the distinct climate and harvest conditions of that year.
