Germana Palha Cachaca 1Liter

Over a century ago, Germana distillery produced its first form of cachaa: Cachaa da Palha. This expression started it all for the Caetano family, and a tradition of excellence has followed. Each bottle is hand wrapped in Da Palha, meaning a dried banana leaf. In the early 20th century, the roads consisted of rugged terrain, and packages were hauled by mules. If one were to slip, all bottles were lost. Dried banana leaves provided an all-natural packaging that could bare the elements. The details truly matter. Da Palha spends its first year after distillation in French Oak barrels. French oak softens the spirits and gives the distillate a silkier mouthfeel; a feeling of elegance. After the first year, the slightly aged, now golden spirit, spends its last year in Brazilian Balsamo. Balsamo graces the young cachaa with a peppery, herbaceous aroma along with a slight bitterness to add more depth in flavor. Remarkable balance is struck by the variance of wood in its aging. Enjoy this spirit neat to understand its complexity. After, displaying its qualities in built drinks is an experience.
