This award winning Cachaca comes from Princesa Isabel distillery at the mouth of the Sweet River in Linhares, Espirito Santo. Founded in 2016 by Adão Cellia and Maria Isabel de Moraes (the namesake of the brand), the distillery uses sugarcane varieties RB7515 and RB5453, as well as a small batch of Cana Caiana, a unique, high-quality variety rarely used for cachaça. After reaching maturity, the sugarcane is hand-cut, and pressed within twelve hours to extract the juice. After going through filtration, the sugarcane juice begins fermentation using Sacaromyces serevisen of the CA11 variety, and goes on to be distilled in copper
The distillery produces both aged and unaged products, with a heavy emphasis on wood that is native to Brazil, as well as oak. Princesa Isabel cares deeply about preserving the habitat that surrounds the distillery. Through its organic production, its conservation of natural resources, and use of solar energy, Princesa Isabel has established itself as one of the premiere distilleries in the country not only in terms of the quality of its cachaça but also in protecting natural resources.
