Distiller Notes
San Francisco World Spirits Competition: Gold Medal Winner
A rush of smoke quickly gives way to pleasant notes of banana and freshly cut grass. A subtle sweetness quickly transforms into layers of apple, honey, and agave as the spirit travels from the tip of the tongue to the soft palate. A smooth and satisfying fishing distinguished by soft vanilla tones that linger pleasantly without overstaying their welcome.

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.
