Tasting Note: Clear. Ripe guava and grape aromas. A smooth, round entry leads to a slightly glycerous, moderately full-bodied palate with excellent, refined tropical fruit flavors mixed with white pepper and beautifully balanced sweetness. Very smooth and drinkable. 40%alc.vol. In the beginning of the 17th century, the producers of sugar from various European colonies in the Americas used the by-products of sugar, molasses, and scummings as the raw material for the production of alcoholic spirits. The resulting beverage was known by several names: in British colonies, it was named rum; in France, tafia; in Spain, aguardiente de caña; and in Portugal (Brazil), aguardente da terra, aguardente de cana and later cachaça (locals also call it "Pinga", [19] which translates to drip). [9] A Cachaca Pitú kezdetben csak Pernambuco tartományt hódította meg, ám a kultikus ital nem érte be ennyivel: hanem behálózta egész Brazíliát, és rövidesen nemzetközileg is igazi kultstátuszt mondhatott a magáénak, úttörő szerepet játszott a brazil exportban. 1970-ben már eljutott az európai italboltok polcaira, az 1980-as években már az Amerikai Egyesült Államokban is felfigyeltek a Cachaca Pitúra. Manapság a Cachaca Pitú több mint 50 országban van jelen, és mára a világ egyik legnagyobb mennyiségben értékesített cachacamárkájává nőtte ki magát. A Pitú évente több mint 90 millió liternyi italt gyárt, amelyek kristálytisztán vagy caipirinhához keverve is egészen maradandóan mámorító cachaca élménnyel ajándékoz meg minket (a Cachaca Pitú kólához keverve is felemelően finom, és temperamentumos brazil zamataival egy igazán emlékezetes ajándék lehet a minőségi italokra szomjazóknak). Yaguara also has one of the most stunning bottles in the cachaça market. Inspired by the flowing geometry of Rio's Copacabana boardwalk, U.K. glass artist Brian Clarke designed a bottle that gets noticed while retaining the bartender-approved easy pour.Sugar production was mostly switched from the Madeira islands to Brazil by the Portuguese in the 16th century. In Madeira, aguardente de cana is made by distilling sugar cane juice into liquor, and the pot stills from Madeira were brought to Brazil to make what today is also called cachaça. [6] The process dates from 1532 when one of the Portuguese colonists brought the first cuttings of sugar cane to Brazil from Madeira. [7] Cachaça (pronounced kah-SHAH-sah)is taking over liquor shelves across the world. It is everything that's great about rum, yet there's something magical about it. The taste often begins with a rum sweetness, and from there it can explode into a whole host of amazing flavors—from a chemical-oil in themore industrial brands to beautiful fruits and spices in artisan aged cachaças.

Calvados & Apple Brandy. Made from distilled wine, brandy is a heart-warming after-dinner treat, with both affordable and beautifully aged varieties available. cachaca se vyrábí výlučně pouze ze zkvašené třtinové šťávy (většina rumů je z „odpadní“ melasy, výjimku tvoří agricole rumy, které se vyrábějí také ze šťávy) Cachaça is produced in copper stills. Levels of copper in homemade cachaças can exceed the legal limits established by Brazilian law. Some copper is considered desirable in the distillation process as a catalyst for the oxidation of sulfur compounds produced by fermentation, but the levels must be controlled by adequate maintenance and cleaning of the still to remove accumulated verdigris. Adsorbents are used, but the most commonly used adsorbents, activated carbon and ion-exchange resin, have been shown to alter the chemical composition of cachaça. Sugarcane bagasse has been proposed as a selective adsorbent. [17] Synonyms [ edit ]

Cachaça can only be produced in Brazil, where, according to 2007 figures, 1,500,000,000 litres (396,000,000USgal; 330,000,000impgal) are consumed annually, compared with 15,000,000 litres (3,960,000USgal; 3,300,000impgal) outside the country. [8] It is typically between 38% and 48% alcohol by volume. [9] [10] [11] When homemade, it can be as strong as the distiller wants. Up to six grams per litre of sugar may be added. [12] We say: Simple, but when made with a quality cachaça and raw honey syrup, then the Lemon Beat is delicious. Oak is more traditional, utilizing the French oak barrels that have been used to age cachaça for many years. It gives this cachaça an inviting vanilla-butterscotch flavor with a hint of bitterness.

Cachaça is a Brazilian spirit made from sugarcane juice. The sugarcane is harvested and pressed. This yields juice that is fermented by adding yeast, resulting in a low ABV wine that is distilled into a high-proof spirit. Silver, or unaged, cachaça is often rested in stainless steel to mellow the flavors, while aged expressions spend a few years in various types of oak, from used bourbon barrels to ones made from indigenous wood. The amount of cachaça produced in Brazil is astounding. Dragos Axinte, CEO of Novo Fogo Cachaça, notes that there are over 50,000 cachaça distilleries in Brazil. Most are illegal, however, and he estimated that (in 2016) there were about 3,000 legal brands. While cachaça is made from sugarcane juice, most rum is made from molasses. The closest relative to cachaça would be rhum agricole which is also made from sugarcane juice in a few specific countries. Also, aged rum is mostly put into ex-bourbon barrels (although sherry casks and other fortified wine barrels are sometimes used), while cachaça is also aged in a variety of native Brazilian wood.Of course, you can always enjoy them neat for a simpler, more original taste. Whatever your preference, you can They make this drink in Brazil called cachaça. It’s sugar alcohol. Costs 35 cents a quart. One quart of that stuff and you see God.

Postup je podobný jako u rumů. Cachaca se fermentuje z čerstvě vymačkané šťávy cukrové třtiny. Ta musí být vypěstována v Brazílii, mohou to být však různé odrůdy, čímž výrobci dokáží trochu variovat výsledný produkt. Následně se destiluje (kvalitnější cachaca v destilačních zařízeních z mědi – viz například alembik u Cachaca Magnífica). Potom může dojít rovnou k lahvování (po zředění na požadovaný obsah alkoholu, nejčastěji 40%), nebo se ještě nechá odstát ve velkých nádržích z nerezavějící oceli.
