Cacho de Cabra (Goat's Horn)
Mellow Chilies of South America
Cacho de Cabra [Ca-cho day Ca-bra] -
Goat's Horn, a smoked chili pepper from Peru and Chile noted for its intense smoked chili flavor. (Heat: 1K - 5K Scoville.)
Pasilla de Oaxaca [Pa-see-ya day Wa-ha-ca] -
Aisle of Oaxaca, a smoked chili pepper from the Mexican state of Oaxaca noted for its luxuriously rich smoked chili flavor. (Heat: 4K - 10K Scoville.)
These chilies both start out about as hot as a Jalapeno, but we use a custom flavor extraction process to take the smoke and the robust chili flavor without all the heat. After the process, the whiskey is equivalent to a mild Anaheim pepper (about 1000 Scoville). Honey tempers and balances the chili flavors for a smooth sipping whiskey. We recommend chilled or served on the rocks. Got a favorite cocktail using Cacho? Send it in!!
Tasting Notes
Color: Deep reddish-brown.
Aroma: Three layers of whiskey caramels, honey, and BBQ.
Flavor: Broad and densely packed with light sweetness from grain and honey supporting big chili notes. On the finish, the heat builds pleasurably for a couple of seconds then recedes leaving a slight tingle.

Caipirinha de Cabra
1/2 Lime sliced into wedges
1-1/2 tsp Sugar (finely powdered is ideal)
2 oz Cacho de Cabra
Lime wheel
A favorite cocktail of ours is the Caipirinha (pronounced cap-a-ree-na), traditionally made with Brazilian Cachaça. It’s a wonderfully refreshing hot-weather drink made with lots of lime. Turns out, this a great showcase for our Cacho de Cabra, which adds a smoky, meaty flavor.
Muddle the lime and sugar in an Old Fashioned glass. Add the Cacho, stir, and top off with ice. Garnish with a lime round. Salud!

While the original Old Fashioned calls for a sugar cube, you can probably skip that here since Cacho brings some honey to the party.
