The taste is peppery and lightly sweet with flavors of honey, oak, and faint orange blossom. The finish is spicy and warm, featuring notes of oak, peppercorns, and orange peels. Overall, this is smooth enough to drink straight, though I don&#8217;t particular enjoy doing so and it&#8217;s nowhere near as smooth as the aged Bacardi; it&#8217;s very oak forward and musty. Mixed in a cocktail though this stuff truly shines, blending with fruit juices exquisitely as cacha\u00e7a is known to do, but with a nice layer of oak underneath for added complexity. Indeed, a caipirinha made with this is remarkably reminiscent of a Jack Daniel&#8217;s Sour. An Old Fashioned is equally enjoyable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":4898,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","embm_styles":[246],"embm_groups":[],"embm_menus":[],"class_list":["post-4896","embm_beer","type-embm_beer","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","embm_style-cachaca"],"embm_profile":{"malts":"Fresh Sugar Cane Juice","hops":"Aged 2-3 years in American oak bourbon barrels that are taken apart, sanded, and re-toasted","additions":"","yeast":"Open Fermentation with Wild Brazilian Yeast","abv":40,"ibu":null},"embm_extras":{"availability":"","notes":"","beer_number":null},"embm_untappd":{"id":null},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.davedrinksbeer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/embm_beers\/4896","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.davedrinksbeer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/embm_beers"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.davedrinksbeer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/embm_beer"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.davedrinksbeer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4896"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.davedrinksbeer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/embm_beers\/4896\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4905,"href":"https:\/\/www.davedrinksbeer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/embm_beers\/4896\/revisions\/4905"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.davedrinksbeer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4898"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.davedrinksbeer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4896"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"embm_style","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.davedrinksbeer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/embm_styles?post=4896"},{"taxonomy":"embm_group","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.davedrinksbeer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/embm_groups?post=4896"},{"taxonomy":"embm_menu","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.davedrinksbeer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/embm_menus?post=4896"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
