Abelha Organic Cachaa Ouro

The story of Abelha began in 2007 when Tom Stockley went on his first journey to find a perfect cachaa that he would bring home with him. While the pilgrimage ultimately failed, it only solidified his resolve and made him some epic memories. He would later return to Brazil with a larger team and would finally find what he was looking for in the small town of Rio De Contas in the heart of Bahia.It was there that the UK-part of Abelha formed a partnership with Marcos Vaccaro and his family-operated organic sugar cane farm. The sugar cane grown at 1,200 meters altitude benefits immensely from the temperature differences between day and night, which results in higher retention of its natural sugars. The small-batch cachaa is produced there using copper pot stills and a combination of modern technology and natural processes that results in an artisanal and organic product of exceptional quality. This process makes a pure and clean spirit with minimal toxins.Abelha Cachaa Ouro (gold) is certified organic and made with great care "for the craft, for the cane, and for the community". This is the aged expression of the two they currently produce and it spends 3 years in 65-gallon Brazilian ash barrels. Complex yet approachable, its a fruity cachaa with enhanced flavors that come from the garapeira wood. There is no sugar or additives and the spirit is bottled at 80 proof.Pick a bottle up today!
