Cachaça 51 — Pirassununga, São Paulo, Brazil (1.0L)
Cachaça is Brazil's national spirit and one of the world's great distilling traditions — produced since 1543, when the process was first developed near the port of Santos, São Paulo, making it one of the oldest distilled spirits in the Americas. Unlike rum, which is distilled from molasses, cachaça is distilled directly from the fresh juice of unrefined sugarcane — called garapa — preserving the raw, vibrant character of the cane itself. Cachaça 51 is produced in Pirassununga, São Paulo, in the heart of Brazil's sugarcane plantation country, from top-quality cane varieties selected for their freshness and flavor. It is Brazil's leading cachaça brand and, as of 2013, the second best-selling distilled spirit in the world — sold from corner markets in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro to the farthest reaches of the Amazon. The 'Cool Spirit' of Brazil, Cachaça 51 is the essential base of the world-famous Caipirinha cocktail and the definitive introduction to Brazil's most beloved spirit.
Unaged and crystal clear, Cachaça 51 is fresh, clean, and vibrant — the unmistakable scent of sugarcane on the nose, with a lively, slightly sweet character on the palate and a clean, crisp finish. Versatile and approachable, it is equally at home in a classic Caipirinha, mixed with fruit juices, or sipped neat over ice.
"Made from top quality cane varieties in Brazil's plantation heartland. The biggest selling brand of its type in the world — and the essential base for an excellent Caipirinha." — Cachaça 51, Producer
