From Liquor.com on our newest releases: 

Avuá Cachaça just introduced two new expressions to its range of hand-crafted cachaças – Avuá Jequitibá Rosa Cachaça and Avuá Still Strength Cachaça. Avuá Jequitibá Rosa is the first of its kind, aged in Brazil’s native Jequitibá Rosa wood, in the United States and only 600 bottles will be available. The still strength offers a high-proof option to expand cachaça’s cocktail versatility and is also one of the highest proof cachaças available stateside.

“For the past four years, Avuá Cachaça has built a dedicated bartender following across the country and internationally, who have joined our mission to change the perception of cachaça,” says Nate Whitehouse, co-founder of Avuá Cachaça. “Avuá Still Strength Cachaça was created in response to the renewed interest in the Tiki cocktail culture, which Avuá has taken a lead role in through our Tiki By The Sea program, and we look forward to bartenders using this new distillate creatively.”

As the leading artisanal, single-sourced cachaça brand, begins in the single-estate sugarcane fields of a small, family-owned farm situated in the hills of Carmo near Rio de Janeiro. Produced by one of Brazil’s few female distillers, Avuá Jequitibá Rosa Cachaça joins Avuá Amburana Cachaça and Avuá Tapinhoa Cachaça as the third native wood expression, each named for the homegrown South American woods in which they are aged. Jequitibá Rosa wood is widely found in Brazil and grown in acres in the Southern region of the country, south of Bahia. Jequitibá Rosa is suitable for building barrels meant to be used to store cachaça, as it imparts a golden color, delicate flavors and a complex bouquet to the cachaça.
