Review: Novo Fogo Silver Cachaca

by Jeff Ellingson

Novo Fogo Silver Cachaca is one of the worlds most earth friendly spirits, and as such they are the ideal spirit to review today on Earth Day.  Cachaca, or Brazilian rum as it is also known, is made from sugar cane similar to rhum Agricole, and not the molasses used to produce most Caribbean rum.  Novo Fogo is crafted from organic sugar cane at a zero waste distillery built into the slope of a hill so the liquids can flow from room to room by gravity instead of motorized pumps.  The sugar cane is hand cut with machetes and immediately transported to the distillery.  The cane is pressed within hours.  The juice contains about 15% sugar.  The dried up sugar cane pulp is used as fuel to fire stills and also as a natural compost to fertilize the fields.  Once the sugarcane juice has been filtered, wild yeast cultivated from their own cane is added to a steel tank and fermented for 24 hours, producing a wine.  The sugarcane wine is distilled in a copper pot still.  Only the heart of the spirit is captured, yielding 130 liters of cachaça.  The cachaca rests in stainless steel tanks for 1 year to smoothen without changing its flavor.  Novo Fogo is not chill filtered, and filled in recycled glass bottles. The aroma leads with a little funk similar to Jamaican rum.  Banana, and pineapple follow, with an herbal bell pepper, and citrus backing.  The citrus entry is joined by banana and bell pepper.  Herbal notes arrive at the midpoint.  It fades with apple and pineapple citrus, and finishes with sea salt, green bean, banana, and tangy pineapple citrus flavor.  Novo Fogo Silver will make a nice base for a tasty caipirinha, and is also smooth enough to sip on the rocks.
