A 1999 single cask cachaca from Brazil’s Epris distillery, bottled at 16 years by Scotch house Duncan Taylor and matured in ex-bourbon oak, an unsweetened and long-aged Brazilian curiosity at 47.5%.
Description
This is a single cask cachaca from the Brazilian distillery Epris, selected by Scottish bottler Duncan Taylor and carrying a notable sixteen years from its 1999 vintage. Long-aged cachaca is rare, and a continental-aged example from a whisky house is rarer still.
Bottled unsweetened at 47.5% from a single ex-bourbon cask, it should read drier and oakier than a young Brazilian spirit, with the vanilla and soft spice of long barrel time framing the cane base. Duncan Taylor works in the natural, single-cask tradition. This is a sipping curiosity for drinkers who want to see what extended ageing does to a Brazilian cane spirit.
