Ypioca Cachaca

About Ypioca Cachaca

Ypióca is a Brazilian cachaça house from the state of Ceará, one of the country's oldest and most respected cachaça producers. For newcomers, it's the most natural entry point into Brazil's national spirit; for connoisseurs, the very giant of the cachaça world, where more than 15,000 employees - including 5,000 who exclusively weave the distinctive straw packaging - make Ypióca an institution rather than just a producer.

History & background

The house was founded in 1846 in the state of Ceará and has since developed into one of Brazil's largest cachaça producers, exporting worldwide. Across generations, Ypióca has maintained its position as one of the country's most respected cachaça houses, while production has grown to a scale that today employs more than 15,000 people. One of the house's most recognizable traits is the hand-woven straw covering around the bottles, which alone employs around 5,000 staff - a craft that is as much a part of Ypióca's identity as the spirit itself.

Production & style

The cachaça is distilled from fresh sugarcane juice rather than molasses, giving it a fruitier, more herbal character than molasses-based rum.

Signature style

Fruity, Herbal, Fresh
The flavour is fresh and fruity, with a herbal, earthy edge from the sugarcane juice.
