Garapeira Wood

Abelha Cachaça Gold is aged for 3 years in 250 litre casks made from Garapeira, a type of native Brazilian Ash. This imparts a honeyed and balsamic flavour to the cachaça and adds a spiced note to the palette. Abelha Gold doesn’t have the familiar vanilla or toffee notes that oak imparts to spirits, which often raises eyebrows. 

Artisanal Cachaças can age in wood barrels made from over 26 different native Brazilian trees, giving them several different body and characteristics. In Brasil, Oak (Carvalho) doesn’t have the same monopoly on aging spirits as it does in the US & Europe. You can find cachaças which are aged in a huge variety of woods which each give a totally different character to cachaça. Sometimes even the most seasoned drinkers around the world are used to oak barrel-aged spirits, making the discovery of these unexpected notes stir serious intrigue. 

Garapeira is valued by cachaça producers in Brasil as a wood which doesn’t change the base flavour of the cachaça – you still get that sugar cane palette, but another layer of sweetness and spice appears.
