On this episode of “Market Makers” we sit down with Pete Nevonglosky to learn about (and taste) their Avuá Cachaça. Cachaça is a distilled spirit made from fermented sugarcane juice and is the most popular distilled spirit in Brazil and the 3rd most consumed spirit in the world!
Pete explained how it all started for him and his partners at Drifter Spirits and what makes their Avuá Cachaça so special.

Clearly, they are doing things the right way and the final product is incredible!
