Cachaça is a Brazilian distilled spirit made from fermented sugarcane juice. It is the main ingredient in Brazil's national cocktail, the caipirinha.

While both cachaça and rum are made from sugarcane, cachaça is distilled directly from fresh sugarcane juice, whereas rum is typically made from molasses, a byproduct of sugar production.

The taste of cachaça can vary widely depending on the expressions and the individual production process and aging. It can range from light and fruity with a grassy aroma to rich and complex with notes of vanilla, caramel, and wood from barrel aging.

Cachaça is pronounced kah-SHAH-sah.

Cachaça can be enjoyed neat, on the rocks, or as part of a cocktail. The most famous cocktail is the Caipirinha [can "Caipirinha" be an active link to the recipe for the caipirinha], made with cachaça, lime, sugar, and ice.

Our cachaça is crafted using traditional methods, with a focus on quality and authenticity. We source the finest sugarcane and employ artisanal distillation techniques to produce a spirit that embodies the true essence of Brazil.

Our cachaça is produced in Minas Gerais, where we have access to high-quality sugarcane and a rich tradition of cachaça making. Also, widely known as the champagne region of cachaça and where cachaça began over 500 years ago.
