American Oak, predominantly from regions such as the state of Kentucky in the USA, is widely used in the global spirits industry, especially in the production of spirits from the United States, such as bourbon.
Aroma:
Aromas of vanilla, burnt coconut and caramel. This type of oak has wider pores and, therefore, provides a more intense exchange with the distillate. In addition to these main aromas, it is possible to identify subtle notes of spices and a slightly toasted touch.
Flavor:
The cachaça has a soft sweetness, with emphasis on flavors of burnt coconut, vanilla and caramel. The texture can be slightly oily, providing a velvety and enveloping sensation on the palate. Spices such as cinnamon and nutmeg can also be perceived, adding an additional layer of flavor.
Complexity:
American oak, due to its porous structure and striking aromatic profile, adds multiple layers of complexity to cachaça. The interaction between wood and spirit enriches the drink, transforming it into a deep and multifaceted tasting experience.
Pairing:
American Oak aged cachaça pairs well with richer and more robust dishes, thanks to its complexity and flavor profile. Grilled red meats, dishes with sweet and sour or caramelized sauces, and desserts based on cream or vanilla are excellent choices. It can also be enjoyed with an ice cube, such as bourbon, alongside medium-bodied cigars, enhancing the notes of spices and toast present in both the drink and tobacco.
Ingredients:
Fermented must of cana-de-açúcar broth.
