Founded in 2010 by Dragos Axinte, Novo Fogo is USDA-certified organic and carbon negative, and a share of every case funds its Un-Endangered Forest reforestation project. It is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProof \/ ABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bottled at barrel strength — varies by cask (pictured bottling 41% ABV); check your bottle’s label\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750mL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAging:\u003c\/strong\u003e Up to 3 years in charred American oak, single barrel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBase:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fresh-pressed organic estate sugarcane juice, natural yeast\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStill:\u003c\/strong\u003e Single distillation, copper pot still\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Morretes, Paraná, Brazil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOne Barrel, One Voice\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost cachaça is blended for consistency; Novo Fogo’s Single Barrel program does the opposite. The cane is grown organically on the estate, cut by hand, fermented with natural yeast and run once through a copper pot still, then laid into charred American oak for up to three years — and each cask is bottled on its own, with the barrel number and proof printed on the label, so no two releases pour exactly alike. It is the cachaça that put Brazil’s national spirit on serious American back bars.
