Abelha Organic Cachaça

Abelha Organic Cachaca is made the way the category demands, from freshly pressed and fermented sugar cane juice rather than molasses, the hard line that separates cachaca from most rum. It is Brazilian by law and organic by certification, an unaged white spirit built around the cane itself.

With no wood to shape it, the character is all raw cane and fermentation: fruity esters, a fresh green lift and a faintly briny, olive note that drinkers either chase or find too lean on its own. Brazil caps cachaca sugar at six grams per litre, so this is genuinely dry. It comes into its own in a caipirinha, where the fruit and freshness carry through lime and sugar, though the more adventurous will find a white rum style character to explore neat.
