The key difference between rum and cachaca, though, is that rum is distilled from the molasses, while cachaca is distilled from the fresh sugar cane juice. The difference would be in the nose -- while unaged rum smells like sugar, cachaca has more of a juice-like smell. When aged, cachaca retains the juicy smell but the flavors are hard for novices to tell apart, though.
