Cachaça

Vibrant, grassy, and bursting with fresh sugarcane, cachaça is Brazil’s national spirit and one of the world's most expressive distillates. Crafted exclusively in Brazil from freshly pressed sugarcane juice, cachaça delivers a distinctively green, earthy, and fruity character quite different from molasses-based rums. From crisp, crystal-clear Prata expressions made for crushing lime and sugar into an authentic Caipirinha, to rich Ouro styles aged in indigenous Brazilian woods like amburana and balsam, our collection showcases exceptional producers. Discover hand-selected releases perfect for tropical highballs, creative craft cocktails, and nuanced neat sipping.

About Cachaça

While often compared to rum, cachaça is defined by its raw material: pure, unrefined sugarcane juice fermented and distilled immediately after pressing. What makes aged cachaça truly unique on your home bar cart is Brazil's use of native hardwood casks alongside traditional oak. Woods like amburana (Brazilian teak), ipê, balsamo, and jequitibá-rosa impart unusual and delightful aromas of cinnamon, coconut, wildflower, and warm baking spices that you won't find in any other spirit category.

Flavour & Style Guide

Understanding the two primary categories of cachaça makes selecting your bottle simple:

— Unaged/White Cachaça (Prata or Branca): Bottled unaged or rested briefly in stainless steel or neutral wood tanks. Crisp, clean, and vibrant, featuring aromas of fresh-cut grass, green apple, lime zest, and subtle white pepper.

— Aged Cachaça (Ouro or Amarela): Aged in wooden casks for a minimum of one year. Offers a golden hue and a smoother, rounded palate with notes of vanilla, warm honey, toasted wood, and cinnamon.

— Native Wood Cachaça: Aged specifically in indigenous Brazilian woods like Amburana (delivering sweet cinnamon and tonka bean notes) or Bálsamo (yielding herbaceous, piney, and floral tones).

How to Choose the Right Cachaça for You

— For the Ultimate Caipirinha: Muddle half a fresh lime cut into wedges with 2 teaspoons of white sugar in a glass, fill with crushed ice, and pour in 60ml of unaged Prata Cachaça. Stir well and serve immediately.

— For Tropical Highballs: Build a Cachaça & Tonic or Batida by shaking 50ml cachaça with condensed milk and passion fruit juice over ice for a creamy, refreshing serve.

— For Dark-Spirit Swaps & Sipping: Sip an Amburana-aged Cachaça neat, or swap it into an Old Fashioned stirred with sugar and Angostura bitters to highlight its unique Brazilian wood spice.
