About this bottle

Single-barrel aging is a method more commonly associated with whiskey than sugarcane spirits. However, Novo Fogo in Paraná, Brazil, has applied this technique to its cachaça. Each 53-gallon ex-Four Roses bourbon barrel is sanded and re-toasted before the spirit is introduced for aging. Cachaça from barrel 87 spent five years aging in a warehouse near the tropical Atlantic Rainforest, resulting in a limited yield of 300 bottles due to evaporation.

Why there's no score

We have 3 ratings for this bottle, and we don't publish an average until 30 people have weighed in.

A handful of ratings can average to anything, and a 4.8 built on three of them looks exactly like a 4.8 built on three hundred. Rather than print a number we can't stand behind, we leave it blank until the count is there. The critic score above comes from a panel rather than the crowd, so it stands on its own.
