Ypióca Cachaça Castanheira Reserva 38% vol. 1 litre

Ypióca Cachaça Castanheira Reserva is a traditional Brazilian cachaça with an alcohol content of 38 per cent, presented in a generous 1-litre bottle. Ypióca has a long history and is one of the most established names in Brazilian cachaça culture. Unlike molasses-based rum, cachaça is made from fresh sugarcane juice, making it a distinct category of spirit with a distinctly Brazilian origin. The designation ‘Castanheira Reserva’ refers to the special wood ageing process used for this bottling. Instead of oak, which is frequently used internationally, Castanheira wood is employed – a type of wood characteristic of Brazil that imparts a distinctive character to the distillate during ageing.

It is precisely this combination of Brazilian sugarcane juice and ageing in Castanheira wood that distinguishes Ypióca Reserva from unaged cachaças and makes it an interesting alternative for lovers of aged sugarcane spirits. The barrel ageing rounds off the original sugarcane character and complements it with spicy, woody and slightly sweet notes. At the same time, Ypióca Castanheira Reserva remains versatile and is suitable both for enjoying neat and for classic Brazilian cocktails. In the 1-litre bottle, it is particularly well-suited to a well-stocked home bar, as well as to restaurants and cocktail bars.

Tasting Note

Colour: Golden yellow to pale amber.

Nose: Harmonious, with fresh sugar cane, subtle woody notes and delicate sweet and spicy accents.

Palate: Smooth and well-balanced with sugar cane, gentle sweetness, spicy woody notes and a pleasantly full-bodied character.

Finish: Harmonious and pleasantly long-lasting, with subtle spice and hints of wood.

Ypióca Cachaça Castanheira Reserva can be served neat at room temperature or slightly chilled, but is also excellent in Brazilian cocktails. A particularly classic way to enjoy it is in a caipirinha with fresh lime, cane sugar and ice, whereby the oak ageing lends the drink added depth. Culinary pairings include grilled meat, spicy Brazilian dishes or mature cheeses, which complement the Reserva’s robust character well. This matured cachaça also makes an excellent digestif when enjoyed with caramel desserts, roasted nuts or dark chocolate.
