Velho Barreiro is one of the most appreciated Cachacas in Brazil because of its delicate aroma due to the very careful methods of distillation employed.
Use it for the preparation of a 'caipirinha' or other fruit cocktails.
Alternatively drink neat over ice with a twist of lemon.
Not bad but not good
I love this in a Caipirinha as I think it\'s got a \'dirty\' edge which allows the lime/sugar to excite your tongue while the cachaca hits the back of your nostrils - something I\'ve yet to find in other cachaca brands.
We have tried most of the Cachaca\'s from thedrinkshop and as yet we haven\'t found one with a better taste. Velho Barreiro has a nice sharp bite to it but doesn\'t leave you with bitter taste in your mouth. Definitely the best Cachaca for making your Caiprinha\'s.
