Cachaça Don Tapparo Extra Premium 10 years

A caramel-hued spirit with a 38% ABV, this aged spirit spent 7 years in peanut wood barrels and concluded with 3 years in American oak. It presents a gentle sweetness, minimal acidity, and a remarkably smooth profile. Flavors of vanilla, coconut, almond, and dried fruit mingle with honey, leaving a pleasant woody oak finish. Established in 1978 by an individual seeking to produce cachaça for personal enjoyment and as gifts, its popularity led to a commercial venture. The business expanded over time with the involvement of sons, diversifying into various cachaça types, alcoholic cocktails, and liqueurs. The third generation of the family is now involved in the operation, which oversees the entire process from sugar cane cultivation to distillation on the family property. Maturation occurs in European and American oak, as well as amburana and peanut woods. This particular cachaça earned accolades including a Gold Medal at The Spirits Business World Contest in 2023, a Gold Medal at the Wines and Spirits of Brazil Contest in 2022, a Master Medal at The Spirits Business Rum & Cachaça International Contest in the UK in 2022, and a Great Gold Medal at the Catad'Or World Spirits Awards in 2021.
