Distiller Notes
Critical Acclaim
All VintagesRested for six months in stainless steel casks, this clear cachaça offers bold, sweet raspberry and plum aromas and flavors, overlaid with a bit of jalapeño heat and zesty vegetal notes on the finish.
Brazil’s national drink, and by far their most popular spirit with well over a thousand domestic producers, Cachaca is just now making its debut in the U.S. In many ways it is similar to Rum. But while most modern Rums are made from molasses or other sugar by-products, only fresh sugar cane juice can be used to make Cachaca. This yields a more floral and herbaceous flavor profile compared to Rum. Both unaged (prata, “silver”) and barrel-aged (ouro, “gold”) expressions are available and used as a base for tropical drinks, like the traditional, Caipirinha.
