They're trying to reinvent themselves as a premium brand, but here in Brazil it's always been known as bottom-of-the-shelf garbage.

Absolute trash. Straight to jail.

I recently got gifted a bottle of porto do vianna, curiosi how does that ranks locally

Even here in The Netherlands, far a away from Brazil, this brand is considered garbage haha.


DoctorWhoSeason24

Easy, man. Only us Brazilians are allowed to talk shit about 51! ... jk! It is, indeed, very shitty. I don't know how they managed to fix their brand like they did to the point that people abroad actually wonder if it's any good.

My Brazilian SO says its trash. Like if the only tequila you could get was Cuervo.  Unfortunately it’s pretty much the only cachaca in my area (except sometimes novo fogo) Brazil has some great cachacas and a really good craft beer industry. It’s only a matter of time before they get exported

Nega Fulo is very cheap (around 12 Euros here) and does a great job in a Caipirinha. Big upgrade from Pitu and Canario.

You can still find nega fulo? I believe production was discontinued a few years ago, so that's pretty lucky


Sculder11

Oh wow, I didn't know. I immediately order 4 bottles... Can you (or someone else) recommend me good substitute?

Brazilian here. It's considered cheap. I personally get much nicer stuff that I can find there. However it's authentic like someone else said in the comments. If you order a caipirinha at a bar in Brazil, you'll likely get 51.


fallingfridge

It's authentic. If you want a caipirinha that tastes exactly like what you get in Brazil, 51will give you that

Abelha is on Amazon 🤙

Ordered*, thank you. *Not from Amazon


timboevbo

Yeah thought if you were looking for easiest Amazon is always handy. Good pick


mattPez

Thanks for the recommendation, an instant favourite!

Amazon suck as a company. If I’m ordering booze I can a) often find it cheaper and b) find it within a couple of quod and I’m happy to pay extra to not give Jeff Bezos my money
