Straw yellow color. Aromas and flavors of malted chocolate balls, banana cream pie, cola float with mint, and cashew maple toffee with a silky, bright, dry-yet-fruity medium body and a smooth, appealing, medium-long finish manifesting accents of coconut and mineral waters, horchata, and delicately spiced papaya and plantain chips. A pure and well rounded Cachaça with flavors that glide across the palate to a warm satisfying finish.
