About Capucana Handcrafted Chacasa
Capucana Handcrafted Chacasa is a celebration of Brazilian vibrancy and craftsmanship, a unique spirit that redefines the world of sugarcane distillates. This premium expression is a blend of aged and unaged Chacasas, meticulously crafted to deliver a complex and exceptionally smooth profile. Chacasa is the perfect spirit for creating refreshing cocktails or for sipping and appreciating its intricate character. For a truly sophisticated experience, enjoying Capucana Handcrafted Chacasa in a proper rum glass can enhance its aromatic qualities, making it a delightful counterpoint to a light-bodied, elegant smoke like the Quai d'Orsay No. 50.
Capucana, which translates to "the house of the sugarcane," is a modern tribute to Brazil's national spirit, Chacasa (often pronounced chacasa). Unlike most rums, which are made from molasses, chacasa is distilled from the fresh, fermented juice of sugarcane, giving it a distinctively fresh, grassy, and vegetal character.
This top-quality spirit is produced in the heart of Brazil and stands out for its unique blending process. It is a carefully guarded composition of different chacasa distillates, some of which are aged for up to three years in American oak barrels that previously held bourbon. This aging process imparts a beautiful golden hue and adds layers of vanilla and spice, creating a spirit that bridges the gap between the vibrancy of traditional Capucana Handcrafted Chacasa and the complexity of aged rum.
Tasting Notes & Aroma Profile
Capucana chacasa offers a lively and aromatic sensory experience that is both refreshing and complex, making it a favorite among bartenders and connoisseurs alike.
On the nose, Chacasa is wonderfully fragrant and floral, with vibrant notes of fresh-cut sugarcane, citrus peel, and green banana, layered with a subtle sweetness of honey and vanilla. On the palate, the mouthfeel is silky and smooth. The initial taste is a delightful burst of tropical fruit flavors–think pineapple and pear. Also, chacasa is balanced by gentle notes of toffee, allspice, and a hint of toasted oak from its time in the barrel. The finish is clean, long, and pleasantly warming, with a lingering sweet and spicy character.
How to Drink Capucana Handcrafted Chacasa
The versatility of Capucana chacasa is one of its greatest strengths. To appreciate its full complexity, we recommend trying it neat or on the rocks in a dedicated rum glass to concentrate the aromas. It is an approachable spirit that is perfect for warm evenings and social gatherings.
