Avua Still Strength Cachaca

45% abv.  A distinctly funky aroma hints at banana and a green bamboo note. The palate is bursting with banana and lychee flavors, rolling into a robust, spicy, drying finish loaded with ginger, white pepper and hot cinnamon. 89 PointsWine Enthusiast, September 2018

Avuá Still Strength Cachaça reflects the best of Avuá at 90 proof – the taste and strength intended by nature and alchemy. Rested in stainless steel casks before being hand bottled, this bold and crisp spirit has vegetal and banana notes perfect for cocktails that call for a higher proof base distillate such as tiki and stirred drinks.  Distillery Notes
