Cachaca - Brazil National Spirits

Cachaca , (kah-shah-sah), is a distilled spirit obtained after fermentation and distillation of brazilian fresh sugarcane juice, sometimes aged in oak barrels before being bottled. The alcoholic liquid is known by many names, including garapa doida, pinga, parati, and cana. Only the true brazilian liqor boasts the rich, earthly taste similar to that of unaged tequila, with aromas of charred sugar molasses and a drier taste than rum.

The history of cachaca is intertwined with brazil history. Production began around the mid 1600’s when Portuguese settlers implemented the sugar industry in Brazil. Plantation owners served distilled spirits to their slaves after noticing the increased vigor and other positive effects of those who consumed it.

Later it was used in the slave industry as currency. Only later it was introduced on the table of the most influential aristocratic families. During brazils fight for independence in the 19th century, the "pinga caliente" became a symbol of resistance towards Portugal domination.

Today, Brazil has than 4000 brands of the brazilian liqor and produzes more than 1.3 billion liters of the bevirage per year. The most famous brands are:
· Caninha 51
· Pitu
· Velho Barreiro
· Caninha Oncinha
· Caninha da Roca
· Caninha Jamel
