Apesar da industrialização ter contribuído para o barateamento e difusão da bebida, a produção artesanal é de extrema importância por permitir o surgimento de variantes com características que dão um toque todo especial em cada edição. Produzir cachaça artesanalmente é uma arte e cada alambiqueiro tem a sua receita.

Alembic cachaça
Cachaça is the most Brazilian of all beverages and more popular among Brazilians of all social strata. Originally adopted by the rural population, now gained the status of noble drink and is enjoyed, literally, around the world.Despite industrialization have contributed to the cheapening and disseminating drink, craft production is extremely important to allow the emergence of variants with features that give a special touch on every issue. Produce handcrafted cachaça is an art and each alambiqueiro (cachaça producer) has its secret.
Few people know, but one of the most important ingredients in its composition is copper alembic! If done by a good alambiqueiro, the cachaça distilled in this equipment is a drink finer and rich in flavors, aromas and colors: sensory components that make it a better and tastier drink.
Another component that helps to ennoble the good cachaça is the oak barrel. Just as wine and whiskey, cachaça deposited for a long time in casks ends up absorbing wood components that alter its composition by changing the appearance, aroma and flavor.
