Novo Fogo Colibri Cachaça

To mature the Colibri expression (“hummingbird” in Portuguese), we moved the cachaça back and forth over the years between repurposed oak barrels and amburana (Brazilian teak) barrels. The predominant spices of vanilla and toffee (from the oak) and cinnamon and chestnuts (from the teak) come together in a balanced expression that also includes tropical fruit such as banana and passionfruit but finishes playfully with notes of snickerdoodle.

AROMA: cinnamon and banana

FLAVOR: toffee and passion fruit

FINISH: snickerdoodle and chestnuts

SUGGESTED COCKTAIL: THE FLIGHT OF THE HUMMINGBIRD
