Hell sir. I'm your new subscriber here from Philippines. Currently studying Bartending course... Thanks for your videos
Hi friend! Happy you're enjoying them 😁
I’m surprised you didn’t mention Leblon
Yesssss. I love my bottle of Novo Fogo, but I wasn’t sure where to go from there. Thanks!
Thanks for sharing this Lui, I want to get into Cachaça will definitely get these different brands of Cachaça.
Happy you enjoyed this one friend! I know its not what most people are really into but i love cachaca. Let me know if you end up trying any of these brands
I saw the clear Novo Fogo cachaça at the ABC store here in NC, left it, saw your video, and went right back to get it. 😂
I haven't had a chance to try it yet because I have a cold.
The first cachaca i fell in love with was the avua amburana. I ended up swapping it for the bourbon in a paper plane and added a little more Latin flair to give it some more depth and character. If your interested in trying it, here is the recipe. Not sure if its a finished product yet but this is it so far. Always open to feedback.
The Pan Am:
3/4 avua amburana cachaca (but im sure most cachaca's aged in amburana casks would work fine)
3/4 aperol
3/4 amaro nonino
1/4 mezcal
3/4 lime juice
shaken, up, orange peel garnish
II will certainly be giving this shot! its right up my alley! I love the sound of it! I like the idea of a touch of mezcal as well!
@@Lui_Fern Mezcal is my favorite kind of seasoning 😗👌🏼
@@CousinJamess haha love it.
Lui off topic video review but I love tequila, and want to explore some of the brands you suggest. I’ve noticed you have never reviewed avion, which is my go to. How do you grade them? Hope to hear back thanks.
Hello Lui
How would you rate Velho Barreiro Cachaca ?
All great choice given the limited selection in the USA. I agree with the Novo Fogo for all the reasons that you stated and for the fact that it is from Southern Brasil, Paraná. I live in Southern Brasil so I am spoiled but what I miss is cachaça velhas for sipping when I am in the USA. Maybe an Armazen Vieira Onix or a Topázio with 16 or 32 years of age on them. Maybe if the USA started receiving velhas then cachaça would get recognized for what it is. The amount of cachaça manufacturers is insane here and it is available everywhere . . . US$ 20 and you have amazing quality and options here. You can even get pinga of US$ 1.00 for 750 ml in a plastic bottle. . . complete firewater.
Thanks Lui for holding the torch in the USA.
Yeah unfortunately here in the states are options are quite limited but im happy you agree! I try my best to hold the torch about cachaca. Its rough because every video i do about it bombs because people just want tequila content haha but i love cachaca. And as a brazilian who owns a brazilian restaurant its super important to me.
The Cachaça in my region is super limited, sometimes it's at the liquor store and sometimes it's not. Opinions on Leblon, 51, or Thoquino?
I envy you. I live in Bulgaria and cachaca is a very obscure spirit on our market. Pitu is available here and there, and if you look really hard online, you may find 51, 61, Sagatiba and that's about it. I even had to explain to the store person in one local liquor store what cachaca even is. He thought Pitu was tequila. I like the beforementioned brands anyway, but definitely would like to try some better cachaca, knowing for example what the difference is between good tequila and, say, Jose Cuervo 🙂
I like PITU and 51.
Yeah, it’s inexpensive, but when I make caipirinhas, I find it’s makes the best ones.
The fancy is better for sipping.
Pitu and 51 are nasty.
Ill have to come to your restaurant so you can make me a proper caipirinha.@@Lui_Fern
@@AveiroDan please do 😁
Could you tell what's the name of the unaged Cachaça is from Germana? Is it called 'Soul'?
Yes that's exactly what it's called.
@@Lui_Fern Wow! Where I am at, it's only $15. Looks like a random low quality brand, hence I avoided it for a long time.
@@chrisdimal9869 I prefer it over 51 or some of the other random brands that are out there
So heres a question, what makes a good cachacá vs a bad one?
Excellent question! So a lot goes into it but how they harvest the sugar cane, how they press it, how they distill it and how they aged it. For example. lots of brands burn their sugar cane fields before harvesting and then use a giant tractor thing to harvest the sugar cane. That is quicker because it kills any bugs and gets rid of leaves from the sugar cane but it also damages the sugar cane and can change the flavor.
The soil the sugar cane is grown in. And how they ferment and distill. Its a whole process. Novo Fogo's farm is Organic so they really take care of their products. But the quick answer is, People who give a sh*t. thats what makes a good cachaca vs a bad one lol
@@Lui_Fern I think it would make for a great video. Similar to how you guys (Lou Agave, Agave Social Club.....etc) explain which brands are doing it the right way and the wrong way.
I love the brand Novo fogo but shit I cannot stand how the rubber stop detaches from the cap. Their bar strength is still a wonderful spirit, though
Also, a question: Do opened spirits ever expire? In other words if I open a bottle of fortaleza, do I have to drink it all in a year?
SAME! Their stoppers always break on me at my bar.
Their bar strength is amazing. Its so lovely.
So spirits CAN go bad. but they dont often go bad. If you store your bottles in a cool darkish place it should last for a very very very long time. decades.
@@Lui_Fern THANK GOD!! I was like fuck I'm gonna get alcohol poisoning trying to drink all of my collection in just one year
It seems that novo fogo is made and sold to export primarily. Kinda hard to find it in Brazil, to be honest
and all places in the web I have found it has prices in dollars.
If you're a foreigner and think that this brand is what brazilians drink, you'd be wrong.
They dont even seem to have a .br domain or website in portuguese, so yeah... definately a cachaça made for gringos.
Plus all the propaganda about reforestation and sustainability crap are big red flags to me.
I could be wrong, but usually I can smell marketing BS and over hyped propaganda from miles away...
Quality wise I cant say anything cos I havent tasted it yet, so I assume you're correct until Im proven otherwise.
So Novo Fogo is the export label. They do not sell Novo Fogo the label in Brazil. The distillery has a different brand, Porto Morretes, that is sold in Brazil. You can believe it's b.s if you want. I went down there myself, saw it with my own eyes, and filmed and documented it all on this channel and i actually contributed to their reforestation effort and met the doctor who is heading up that project. But If that's what you want to believe than I can't do anything for ya.
@@Lui_Fern
The BS part I mentioned was not meant to doubt their reforestation or sustainability efforts. What I meant by "BS" is using those things as a marketing ploy. It's the type of thing companies do in order to shape their image and identity much more than an authentic and genuine thing they do for the environment from the heart.
Many companies do it, and it's so common place nowadays that it has become cliché "to be green", but in the end it works because naive people value it and that's all that matters for marketing and sales.
I personally dont care for it when it's not genuine, and Im highly skeptical of companies that go that route. It's just for showing off...
And I know many people do care about that kind of theater, Im just not one of them, specially knowing that terms like "sustainability" , "climate change", "carbon credits" etc is just part of a political agenda created by people in charge of the world in order to steer it into an economy of scarcity and increased control over people, but most folks completely fail to see through it and invariably become angry or laugh it off when it is pointed out.
