Description

• Over a century ago, Germana distillery produced its first form of cachaça: Cachaça 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. 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 cachaça 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.
