Avuá Still Strength Cachaça: The Pure, Potent Essence of Brazil

Experience the unbridled spirit of Brazil with Avuá Still Strength Cachaça, a remarkable artisanal expression that captures the raw power and vibrant essence of fresh sugarcane juice. Unlike conventional rums, Avuá Cachaça is a true Brazilian spirit, and its "Still Strength" bottling offers a bold, undiluted taste of its unique terroir, revealing the purest form of this celebrated cane spirit.

Avuá Cachaça is meticulously crafted at Fazenda da Quinta, a single estate distillery nestled in the rolling hills of Carmo, Rio de Janeiro. Here, the process begins with heirloom varieties of sugarcane, hand-harvested and immediately pressed to extract the fresh, aromatic juice. This commitment to fresh cane juice is the hallmark of cachaça artesanal (artisanal cachaça), differentiating it from industrial cachaças and most rums made from molasses. The sugarcane juice undergoes a natural, slow fermentation with wild yeasts indigenous to the region, lending a distinctive complexity.

Following fermentation, the cachaça is masterfully double distilled in traditional copper pot stills. The "Still Strength" designation means this expression is bottled directly from the alembic at or very near its distillation proof, with minimal to no dilution. This preserves the full spectrum of volatile compounds and aromatic intensity, resulting in a potent and profoundly flavorful spirit. While unaged for a crystal-clear appearance, its robust character is a direct result of the quality of the cane and the precision of the distillation.

Bottled at a robust 45% ABV (90 Proof), Avuá Still Strength Cachaça delivers an intense yet remarkably clean and vibrant profile, showcasing the true essence of Brazil.
