Leblon Cachaca

Leblon Cachaça is Brazil’s premium artisanal sugarcane spirit, distilled from freshly pressed cane juice and lightly rested in French oak casks. Smooth, fruity, and versatile, it elevates cocktails like the Caipirinha while also offering enough character to sip neat.

Origins & Craftsmanship

• Produced by: Maison Leblon, Patos de Minas, Minas Gerais, Brazil

• Founded: 2005, with the mission of bringing cachaça into the premium spirits category

• Production: Fresh cane is hand-harvested, pressed within hours, and fermented in small batches. Distilled in copper pot stills, then briefly aged (up to 6 months) in French cognac casks for finesse.

• ABV: 40% (80 proof)

Tasting Profile

• Nose: Tropical fruit (banana, guava, citrus) with fresh green cane, light vanilla and oak.

• Palate: Smooth and lightly sweet; flavors of fresh sugarcane, citrus zest, creamy coconut, and subtle spice. Balanced with a gentle oak roundness.

• Finish: Crisp, clean, and refreshing, with lingering fruit and soft vanilla.

What Makes It Special

• Premium quality: Elevates cachaça beyond its common perception as just a mixer.

• French influence: Oak finishing in XO cognac casks lends elegance.

• Versatility: Excellent base for cocktails yet refined enough to sip neat or over ice.

Serving Suggestions & Cocktails

• Caipirinha (classic): Muddle lime and sugar, add Leblon, serve over crushed ice.

• Batida de Coco: Leblon, coconut milk, sweetened condensed milk, shaken with ice.

• Cane Mojito: Substitute Leblon for rum in a Mojito — brighter and more vegetal.

• Neat or on ice: For appreciating its fruity, herbal, and oaky subtleties.
