Portuguese term or phrase: guela
Text on a restaurant menu about cachaça:
A cachaça deve ser degustada em pequeninos goles, lentamente, para que seu bouquet possa ser absorvido só na boca, sem deixá-la descer «guela» abaixo, queimando tudo, mas não se pode esquecer de deixar um golinho «prú santo».
Thank you for your help!
