CACHAÇA CAIALUA PREMIUM CARVALHO

Born from a family legacy of farming and devotion to the soil, the estate resides near the source of the Extrema River, 65 kilometers north of Formosa, in Goiás. The desire to create Cachaça Caialua stemmed from a deep appreciation for the spirit. Production commenced in 2009, involving sugarcane cultivation, construction, equipment acquisition, and extensive product research. The inaugural cachaça was produced in 2012. Harvesting is conducted manually, with sugarcane tops and pulp used for animal feed. Cooling water from distillation is returned to local waterways. Vinasse is repurposed as fertilizer for the sugarcane fields. Cachaça Caialua Premium Carvalho 500ml is matured for four years in American Oak barrels, blended with oak from first use, toasted to level 4. This aging process imparts a yellowish hue and a distinct woody flavor profile, evoking notes of caramel, vanilla, almonds, and toasted coconut. With 40% alcohol by volume, this spirit is a new market entry. Source: Cachaçaria Nacional.
