Description: Our “Tanager” expression mixes the Brazilian South’s two favorite woods. We age this cachaça in barrels of oak and araribá (zebrawood), a traditional Southern wood that adds natural red color and a distinctive mountain earthiness. We sourced the wood from our only two zebrawood barrels from an abandoned house located on a friend’s property. Tanager is spicy, oily, and funky and makes a powerful base for an exotic Sazerac cocktail. Fermentation: 18 hours with wild yeast Distillation: copper pot still Barrels: repurposed oak + zebrawood Nose: tropical fruit Palate: grass and holiday spices Finish: cinnamon bark Suggested cocktail: Sazerac TANGERAC 2 oz Novo Fogo Tanager Cachaça 2 dashes of Scrappy’s Orleans bitters 2 dashes of Angostura bitters 0.25 oz simple syrup Stir with ice and strain into an Absinthe-rinsed glass. Zest lemon on the size of the glass and discard the peel.
