Ypióca Cachaça Castanheira Reserva is a traditional Brazilian cachaça with an alcohol content of 38 per cent, presented in a generous 1-litre bottle. Ypióca has a long history and is one of the most time-honoured names in Brazilian cachaça culture. Unlike molasses-based rum, cachaça is made from fresh sugarcane juice, making it a distinct category of spirit with a distinctly Brazilian origin. The name ‘Castanheira Reserva’ refers to the special wood ageing process used for this bottling. Instead of oak, which is frequently used internationally, Castanheira wood is employed – a type of wood characteristic of Brazil that imparts a distinctive character to the distillate during ageing.

It is precisely this combination of Brazilian sugarcane juice and ageing in Castanheira wood that distinguishes Ypióca Reserva from unaged cachaças and makes it an interesting alternative for lovers of aged sugarcane spirits. The cask ageing rounds off the original sugarcane character and complements it with spicy, woody and slightly sweet notes. At the same time, the Ypióca Castanheira Reserva remains versatile and is suitable both for drinking neat and for classic Brazilian cocktails. In the 1-litre bottle, it is particularly well-suited to a well-stocked home bar, as well as to restaurants and cocktail bars.
