Welcome to the world of cachaça! Here at Cachacier, we find the best cachaça from Brazil and deliver it directly to your door.
So, what is cachaça? It’s a distilled spirit made from fermented sugarcane juice, that’s been produced for over 500 years, only in Brazil.
Today, it’s one of the most produced spirits on the planet, ahead of well-known names like whiskey and cognac. However, only one percent of all cachaça is exported from Brazil, so very few people know this unique spirit. So if you haven’t heard much about it, you’re not alone.
You might also be asking yourself, what is this weird name Cachacier? Well, a Cachacier can be thought of like a sommelier except instead of wine, in this case, we’re experts in cachaça.
I started Cachacier after living in Brazil for over eight years and discovering the vibrancy, history, and breadth of cachaça and its culture. Before this, like you, I knew almost nothing about it. While there is sporadic coverage of cachaça and its potential abroad as a product, little has been written in English about its history and cultural significance.
For several years, I had a blog called Cachaça for Gringos, where I wrote about the history, culture, and variety of cachaça, which can be found throughout the country. There are nearly one thousand producers of cachaça in Brazil, producing about 4,000 different brands, which in turn put out tens of thousands of different types of cachaça, from silver unaged, to 9 wood blends.
So, what I found, quite quickly during my time writing the blog, is that there is an entire cachaça universe, almost entirely hidden from the rest of the world. The more I tried, the more I became convinced that people in the wider world are missing out on something very special.
