Cachaça (pronounced Ka-SHA-Sa) is the older cousin of Rum, made of freshly pressed sugar cane juice.
Cachaça can have a richer profile, as it is made of freshly pressed sugarcane juice and not the sugar cane syrup or molasses which is later used for rum.
For this reason, cachaça distinguishes itself with a more earthy sugar cane flavor.
Our mission:
"To make the best Minas Gerais Cachaça in the world using modern and sustainable practices.”
Planet-friendly. No headaches.
Located in Papagaios - Minas Gerais, Engenho Buriti de Minas is in the heart of Brazil's most celebrated state for the production of cachaça.
Rich in culture and history, Minas Gerais is renowned for the production of precious minerals and metals, the religiosity of its people and of course the production of cachaça.
Papagaios city is a district founded in the mid-1800s, where the Buriti palm trees abound and in the past served as identification of the region. With 12,000 papagaienses, the city retains the peculiar prose and the traditionalism of the countryside of Minas Gerais.
All production is made from our own sugarcane plantations. Special varieties are selected and well-maintained.
The manual cutting, careful husking and grinding are the basics of our cachaça.
The sugarcane is pressed to extract the juice. The control of sugar content ensures maximum efficiency in the fermentation process.
The cane juice is fermented with native yeasts, which convert sugar into alcohol. This 12 to 24 hour process is strictly controlled and crital to the bouquet of cachaça.
After fermentation, the small batches are distilled in copper stills. Only the heart (the best part) is utilized in a completely handmade process.
The small batches of cachaça are preserved in different types of wooden casks to be aged and enhance the flavor and aroma.
The blend specialist combines different batches to give identity to each product. In this complex process, the flavors of each product are brought to life.
