Ok, I’m not going to pretend to have a lot of experience or deep knowledge of rum, or Cachaça, as a spirit. I am capable of looking up information the same as anyone else, and while this is a new area of exploration to me, tasting and analyzing spirits isn’t new. So, I came to cachaça as a category of rum, despite those who insist that it isn’t rum. I smell something weird. You know how people tell kids that they can become anything that they want? This rum was told that, and decided that it was gonna be tequila. (Not really, but it is vegetal) Sweet, lime juice, way overripe oranges (verging on rotting), fresh mown wet grass, vanilla, and some acetone. First sip, sweet, thin, some sour tartness. There’s a greenness to this, like the taste in your mouth after using an industrial weed trimmer, bitter like dandelion greens. The finish is mouthwatering, peppery, and vegetal. The green taste is present here too. There’s also something like biting into a lime. I haven’t had another cachaça other than Cachaça 51, so my rating is based entirely on my taste. 70/100

[Valor convertido de BRL para USD] Cara, bebi poucas cachaças na vida, mas 51 me conquista muito, adoro o doce, o aroma, e o aspecto que essa bebida traz para alguns drinks, e digo alguns porque critico sua versatilidade, nem tudo é bom com cachaça, mas no mais, muito interessante! Sinto muito bem esse doce, notas de limão e com certeza bastante picância, é um misto geral, uma bala de limão com pimenta, ou uma pimenta doce, enfim...
On the nose, notes of green apple, raspberry, yogurt, grass, and lime peel. Oily mouthfeel. More raspberry, green apple, lime peel, and yogurt on the palate – plus coriander on the finish, which is pretty short and has some heat. 2.50/5.00 – Acceptable (neat)
Reminds me of jamaican rum. Very estery. Banana, canned tropical fruit, then some black berry/cassis flavor. Not bad at all.
Nose: sweet, minty, grassy, spiky Palate: silky, sugary, light Finish: allspice, herbal, salty?, very light and easy drink
Tastes like death. But since its so cheap and popular i dont care. Works great in Caipirinhas and mixes
