Ypioca Cachaca Crystal (1L) Quadrupel (Quad) and for the first time

and for the first time in a number of years the barrel regime was shortened to 11 months

As with the other Quilceda 2009s

with frightfully high acidity

putting on more weight and flesh over the last year

Ypioca Cachaca Crystal (1L) Quadrupel (Quad) and for the first timeJudging by the other expressions from this estate produced brand, it improves the longer it's aged. In this case, the spirit is aged for one year, yielding a barely perceptible straw color and an earthy, slightly vegetal, slightly sweet scent. The flavor leads with a sweet sugar cane note, but it also has a brisk smokiness, like mescal, on the finish. Kara Newman, Wine Enthusiast
