Cachaça Capucana

Light golden colour cachaca with the aroma of apricot, oak, leather, biscuit, orange fudge and black pepper. The taste is reminiscent of real rum, where the nuances of vanilla, pear and honey are intertwined. In long aftertaste there are hints of sweet cream, citrus and flowers.

The spirit is widely known at bars as being the base for a spirited caipirinha, but cachaca is much more versatile than you realise — you can enjoy it as an aperitif or even as a digestif mixed with a strong espresso, or as a base for a negroni or even a hot, spiced toddy.
