Cachaca Ypioca is Brazil's answer to rum, as it is also made from sugar cane, and in the case of Ypióca, all the sugar cane comes from its own plantations, the largest in Brazil. The Cachaca Ypióca Reserva Castanheira is aged for 12 months in chestnut barrels, which gives the product a very sweet and incredible aroma on the palate. The bottle is delivered in beautiful authentic packaging, the weaving of the bottle is done by hand, the company also hires around 4,000 people just to weave the raffia which adorns the bottle.
