THE ESSENCE OF CACHAÇA
FROM THE IRON-RICH BRIGHT RED SOIL, GENEROUS RAINS, AND BLAZING SUN OF MINAS COMES A FLAVOR THAT IS INTRICATE AND SOPHISTICATED.
NOTES OF FRESH-CUT GRASS, VANILLA, CARAMEL, AND SWEET MARZIPAN TRANSPORT YOU TO A PLACE OUT OF TIME.
BOTH LIGHT AND DECADENT, COMPLEX AND VERSATILE, CACHAÇA BELA IS PROOF THAT A GOOD CACHAÇA CAN BE A COCKTAIL OF DELICIOUS CONTRADICTIONS.
THE SPIRIT OF CACHAÇA
CACHAÇA BELA IS YOUR TICKET TO THE TROPICS OF BRASIL.
ONE OF THE MOST POPULAR LIQUORS ON THE PLANET, CACHAÇA IS THE DISTILLED SPIRIT OF FERMENTED SUGARCANE JUICE.
THE CLEAR YOUNG CACHAÇA IS THE MAIN PLAYER IN A POPULAR COCKTAIL, THE CAIPARINHÃ, A RUSTIC BLEND OF MUDDLED LIME, SUPERFINE SUGAR AND CACHAÇA.
THE BARREL-AGED CACHAÇAS ARE BEST ENJOYED NEAT OR IN SPIRIT-FORWARD COCKTAILS SUCH AS THE RABO DE GALO,
A TRADITIONAL BLEND OF AGED CACHAÇA AND SWEET VERMOUTH.
FROM SUGARCANE TO SPIRIT
WITH CAREFUL ATTENTION TO TEMPERATURE AND AERATION, THE JUICE IS FERMENTED WITH NO ADDED YEAST (OR ANY OTHER INGREDIENT).
AFTER 24 TO 36 HOURS, THE NATURAL AMBIENT YEAST HAVE CONSUMED MOST OF THE SUGAR TO CREATE A SUGARCANE WINE.
AT ABOUT 15 PERCENT ALCOHOL, IT IS TRANSFERRED INTO TALL TANKS TO ALLOW THE YEAST TO SETTLE AND FINISH OFF THE REMAINING SUGAR.
THIS UNCLOUDED SUGARCANE WINE IS THEN SLOWLY DISTILLED TO COAX OUT A LONG PARADE OF FLAVORS, AROMAS, AND LIQUID TEXTURES THAT ARE CAREFULLY CHOSEN TO BRING YOU THE VERY BEST CLEAR, PURE CACHAÇA.
