From Itaverava, Minas Gerais, at Alambique Taverna de Minas, Legítima de Minas Cachaça captures the spirit of Minas Gerais left by the drovers on the Estrada Real. Minas Gerais natives take pride in the state's heritage and its role in Brazil's growth. However, even those from elsewhere recognize the legacy Minas Gerais holds in producing Brazil's premier artisanal Cachaças since the 14th century. This blend, aged three years in oak, balsam, and amburana vats, offers fruity and spicy aromas from the mature casks. With 39% ABV, it presents a palate with just the right sweetness, delivering a smooth, liqueur-like sensation. The finish has a moderate persistence of spices, enticing another sip.
