Leblon Reserva Especial Cachaça 375mL

Combining the flavor of the best tasting cane with the aroma and quality of the finest French oak. This special distillate is aged up to two years in the highest grade new Limousin French oak, then expertly blended. Single batch distilled in alambique potstills. The result is a complex smooth spirit with notes of honey, caramel, and pine nuts.

The Destilaria Maison Leblon is located in Patos de Minas, an agricultural town in the western highlands of Minas Gerais, the heart of sugar cane country and is a fully-integrated craft distillery exclusively owned by and producing only LEBLON®  Cachaça.

Unlike other cachaça distilleries, which increase the force of their pressing to maximize juice yield, the Maison Leblon gently presses the cane to extract only the best-tasting sensorial qualities from the cane stalks.

Drink neat, on the rocks, or in a cocktail. Reserva pairs well with herbs, spices and liqueurs.

What is Cachaça?

Cachaça is Brazil's national spirit, a distilled spirit made from fermented and distilled sugarcane juice. It has a history of almost 500 years, blending three trends in Brazilian culture: Indian, African, and Portuguese. Cachaça is often compared to rum because they share a sugar-based distillate, but cachaça is made from freshly-pressed sugarcane juice, while rum is not. Cachaça is sweeter and has a different taste than rum because it is made directly from sugarcane juice.
