Drinkhacker Reviews Leblon

Drinkhacker gives Leblon a "B+" rating:

If you’re looking for textbook cachaça, Leblon is as close as I’ve come to finding something that exhibits the highlights and the curiosities about this intriguing sugar cane spirit.

Like author Christopher Null, I too have received Leblon's review kit. I look forward to writing the review later this week.

Over at My Life On The Rocks, Lance Mayhew is working on his own Leblon review.

You know... This PR thing apparently works. Maybe I ought to think of it as a career.

*chuckles*

Define 'textbook'?

You'll have to ask him! *8-)

@John Gakuru - By "textbook" I mean it displays all of the typical characteristics one would expect to find in a cachaca, and serves as both a good introduction to cachaca and a starting point against which to compare other brands -- some of which are better, some of which are far worse. I've got examples of both on Drinkhacker.

About Cachaçagora

  • Hi. My name is Phil Gomes. By day, I work at a public relations firm as its senior vice president of digital integration. I'm a proud SF East Bay native who currently lives in Chicago.

    I was introduced to cachaça by my wife, a Carioca. Her mom, in turn, is the president of the Confraria de Cachaça do Copo Furado, a group that meets monthly to talk about Brazil's indigenous spirit. I participated in one of their meetings when I vacationed in Rio in July 2008.

    This started me thinking about the basic question of whether cachaça in the U.S. is today where, say, tequila was some decades ago.

    So I decided to start this blog as a means to record and share the cachaça-related items I've been seeing day-to-day. I hope to be sharing recipes, impressions, and random thoughts as the U.S. continues to catch on to the potential for this particular spirit.

    Oh... The name? "Cachaçagora" is a portmanteau of "Cachaça" and "agora", which is the Portuguese word for "now". In Greek, "agora" also means public square. I hope to meet the expectations of both.

    Saúde!
