Cachaca 51

About Cachaça 51

Cachaça 51 is produced by Companhia Müller de Bebidas in Pirassununga, a town regarded as the capital of cachaça in São Paulo state. For the newcomer, 51 is the most natural gateway into cachaça: a clean, sugarcane-distilled spirit that forms the very foundation of the classic caipirinha. For the spirits enthusiast, the brand represents cachaça's mass market - not a rare artisan bottling, but the everyday standard against which other Brazilian cachaças are measured.

History & Background

Companhia Müller de Bebidas traces its roots back to 19th-century sugarcane production in the fertile land around Pirassununga, where the tropical climate and old distilling traditions turned the town into the heart of Brazilian cachaça. Over the decades, Cachaça 51 grew to become the country's best-selling cachaça, a position it still holds today. The name "51" has become so embedded in Brazilian drinking culture that it is often used as shorthand for cachaça itself.

Production & Style

The cachaça is distilled from fresh sugarcane juice, giving it a light, fresh character unsuited to long aging.
