Abelha Organic Cachaça Silver

Abelha Organic Cachaça starts life in Bahia, Northern Brazil, where a collective of small-holding farmers grow sugar cane 100 per cent organically on highland sandy soils. The cane is processed within 24 hours of being cut to ensure freshness, and then fermented using yeast found growing naturally on green sugar cane. From here the fermented cachaça is distilled in small batches in a traditional copper still. Only the heart or curacao, a small fraction of the distillate, is kept to ensure the highest possible quality.

Abelha was the first cachaca to be certified as Organic in Brasil. Everything from planting the sugar cane to bottling the cachaca is done at the “fazenda”. Abelha Organic Silver Cachaca is produced in small batches on Copper Pot Stills. It is then rested for 6 months in stainless steel vats before being bottled.

It has a nice fruity nose. Lots of green apple and ripe white grape. There is a sweet note of sugar cane and icing sugar. It’s really fresh and vibrant. At an ABV of 39% it isn’t going to knock anyones socks off but it has a quite a big fruity well balanced aroma.
