About this cachaca
Espirito de Minas is a Brazilian cachaça bottled at 42% ABV. Cachaça is distilled from fresh-pressed sugarcane juice, distinct from rum, which typically uses molasses, giving the spirit a grassy, vegetal brightness that sets it apart from most other white spirits.
Expect fresh sugarcane on the nose, a clean mid-palate with faint herbal and citrus notes, and a warm, dry finish. The natural starting point on board is a Caipirinha, but it also works alongside ceviche, fresh shellfish, or light tropical fruit-forward desserts.
