Gold Medal International Spirits Challenge 2013 Gold Brazilian Rum Cachaça 80PF / 1.0L A premium Cachaca (sugarcane spirit) 100% matured in oak casks to standards that assure the distinctive taste of the world’s finest spirits. You Know Rum— But What Is Cachaca? “Cachaça is most definitely not a rum,”... I would say that [rum and cachaça] are distant cousins.” Cachaça, often called Brazilian rum, a nickname that isn’t entirely wrong: both rum and cachaça are made from sugar, but rum is made from sugarcane by-products, like molasses, whereas cachaça is made straight from the sugarcane itself. Because cachaça is distilled from raw sugarcane, it retains a grassy, sulfurous, earthy quality that rum lacks—rum, by turn, is sweeter with more notes of vanilla. —SMITHSONIANMAG.COM
