Avuá Jequitibá Rosa Aged Cachaça

Avuá Jequitibá Rosa is the most delicate and approachable expression in the entire Native Wood Aged Collection — a 93-point Wine Enthusiast-rated cachaça that introduces one of Brazil's most beautiful hardwoods to the spirits world in the gentlest possible way. Single-sourced from the hills of Carmo, Rio de Janeiro, and aged for up to two years in a single Jequitibá Rosa cask — a high-density, dark hardwood found only in central and southern Brazil — this is genuinely a single-barrel expression in the truest sense, with each batch numbered to a specific growing season. Jequitibá Rosa wood produces a fundamentally different character than the bold Amburana or the tannic Tapinhoã — the large vertical cask imparts a light fruity aroma with a delicate yet slightly bitter flavor that sits far closer to the gentle end of the native wood spectrum. The nose is light and engaging with pineapple, spiced baked apples, fresh-cut cane, and a hint of mint, while the palate delivers the sweet flavors of bananas, cooked breadfruit, and mango with a hint of allspice from the smoky wood highlighting mineral notes on the finish — medium-long, somewhat thin, with a gentle herbal and bitter trail that rewards patient sipping. Drinkhacker awarded it an A-, calling the palate quite soft and one of the gentlest in cachaça — modestly sweet with ample fruit. Only 600 bottles available in the US per batch. Presented in a striking pink bottle befitting its character. Buy Avuá Jequitibá Rosa Cachaça online with fast shipping right to your door.
