This is the 20cl version of the Cachaça Leblon originally available in 70cl.
The distillery that produces Leblon artisanal cachaça (named after a famous Rio beach) is located in the middle of sugarcane fields, in the Brazilian highlands of Minas Gerais. The cane is cut by hand, then pressed to obtain a pure, fresh juice known as "Caldo de Cana". This pure cane juice is fermented for 15 hours, before being transferred to small copper pot-stills for distillation. The master distiller, a Frenchman with a background in Cognac, then pours the freshly distilled cachaça into Limousin oak casks that have previously contained Cognac. The cachaça remains in these barrels for up to 6 months, during which time it rests and acquires its silkiness. Once matured, the cachaça is blended and bottled on site.
Its production process makes it a premium artisanal cachaça, often awarded the title of the world's best cachaça. It is of course used in the composition of Caipirinha, the iconic Brazilian cocktail, but that's not all: its natural cane taste also leaves plenty of room for inspiration.
