Tasting notes

Ypioca Silver Prata is a cachaça from a 170 year old distillery. As the Portuguese label says, it is a 'pure sugar cane essence', like the agricultural rums of the West Indies. It is therefore a spirit of pure sugarcane juice, which in this case has been distilled in columns. Its colour is translucent, yet it has been resting for 12 months in freijó casks, a local wood.

Key characteristics

About this cachaca

Ypioca is a renowned producer of Cachaça, a traditional Brazilian spirit that has gained popularity worldwide. With a rich history dating back to 1846, Ypioca has established itself as a leading brand in the production of high-quality Cachaça.

The history of Ypioca is deeply intertwined with the history of Cachaça itself. Cachaça is a distilled spirit made from sugarcane juice, and it has been produced in Brazil for centuries. Ypioca has been at the forefront of this tradition, preserving the authentic methods of production while also embracing modern techniques.

Ypioca's Cachaça is made from carefully selected sugarcane, which is harvested at the peak of its maturity. The sugarcane is then crushed to extract the juice, which is fermented and distilled to create the base spirit. Ypioca takes pride in using traditional copper pot stills for distillation, a method that allows for greater control over the flavor and character of the final product.

One of the distinguishing features of Ypioca's Cachaça is its aging process. While some Cachaças are aged in wooden barrels, Ypioca has perfected the art of aging in stainless steel tanks. This unique approach allows the spirit to develop a smooth and clean profile, with subtle hints of sugarcane and tropical fruits.

Ypioca offers a range of Cachaças, including their Silver Prata expression. Silver Prata is a young and vibrant Cachaça that showcases the true essence of the sugarcane. It is unaged, allowing the natural flavors to shine through. With its crisp and refreshing taste, Silver Prata is perfect for cocktails and mixed drinks.

In addition to their Silver Prata, Ypioca also produces aged Cachaças that have been matured for several years. These aged expressions offer a more complex and nuanced flavor profile, with notes of caramel, vanilla, and oak. They are best enjoyed neat or on the rocks, allowing the full range of flavors to be savored.

Ypioca's commitment to quality is evident in every bottle of Cachaça they produce. Their attention to detail, from the selection of sugarcane to the aging process, ensures that each sip is a true reflection of Brazilian craftsmanship. Whether you are a seasoned Cachaça connoisseur or a curious newcomer, Ypioca
