Cachaca Fio do Bigode

Fio do Bigode roughly means "the moustache thread" - Brazilian slang for the very finest drop, the one that just tickles the lip. It is a small, artisanal cachaça, far from the supermarket shelf, crafted in small batches with the same respect for craft as a fine single malt. The bottle is an invitation to taste Brazil the way few outside the country ever have.

About Cachaça Fio de Bigode

Cachaça Fio do Bigode is a handcrafted, small-batch cachaça that sets itself apart from the big industrial brands through its limited production and focus on the purity of its raw ingredients. For the newcomer it offers a taste of cachaça's more rustic, authentic side; for the collector, the small runs and limited export are part of the appeal - this is a bottle you won't find on every liquor store shelf.

History & Background

The name comes from an old Brazilian saying about the finest cachaça - the quality once reserved for the farm owner himself, while the rest was sold on. The tradition of small, family-run cachaça stills (alambiques) stretches back several centuries into Brazil's interior, where the sugarcane fields and local craft traditions have kept alive techniques that industry has otherwise overtaken. Fio do Bigode honours that heritage by deliberately keeping production small.

Production & Style

The cachaça is distilled from fresh sugarcane juice following a traditional, artisanal method.

Signature Style

Fresh, Fruity, Sugarcane-Forward
The flavor offers a fresh, fruity character with a clear sugarcane sweetness.
