Abelha Cachaça is a small batch, hand-crafted, artisanal, organic cachaca that comes from Bahia, North East Brasil – a cultural and naturally beautiful region. The distillery is near an old diamond-mining town called Rio de Contas in one of Brasil’s largest national reserves – the Chapada Diamantina. The town is nestled high in the hills of the reserve, at 1,200m altitude, and is the perfect place for growing our organic sugar cane. The temperature differential between day and night means the cane retains large amounts of fresh natural sugar, which is where Abelha gets its unique sweet taste. Our Master Distiller, Marcos Vaccaro, is an expert in all things organic and the distillery is surrounded by fresh waterfalls, 27 different types of organic fruit trees which contributes to Abelha’s distinct aromas. Abelha Cachaca, The Fazenda in Brazil and The Responsible Trading Company is found on the principles of teaching local farmers in the vicinity how to farm organically.
