Cabana Cachaca – Authentically Brazilian Rum Hits Tennessee
Lipman Brothers is the official distributor for Cabana Cachaça, a brand of Brazilian-made cachaça that is fermented and distilled directly from freshly pressed sugarcane.
Cabana Cachaca was launched in the United States in 2006 by Matti C. Anttila, a former New York investment banker. Although the third most distilled spirit in the world, cachaça, the national spirit of Brazil, was relatively unknown in the United States until recently. Similar to rum, cachaça is an ingredient in a caipirinha cocktail.
Cabana is distilled directly from the first pressing of freshly hand cut sugar cane, as opposed to molasses, which most rum is produced from. Cabana's production method eliminates the impurities responsible for cachaça’s sometimes harsh taste, without compromising the spirit’s characteristics. Two small-batch distillations of the fermented natural cane juice in pot stills – as opposed to the large column stills used for continuous distillation by most producers – allow the master distiller greater control over each distillate. After nine months of mellowing in Brasilian Jequitibá wooden barrels, the resulting spirit is a white rum offering a delicate citrus nose and a smooth round finish.
Awards
Cabana Cachaça was awarded a Double Gold Medal at the 2009 San Francisco World Spirits Competition as well as two consecutive Gold Medals in the 2008 and 2009 Ministry of Rum Tasting Competitions. Cabana Cachaça also received a 94 point rating by influential spirits critic Anthony Dias Blue.
