Barrel Aging Method:

Combine 750ml of neutral spirit with 20ml of Apple Whiskey Essence in your mini oak barrel. Rotate the barrel every other day. Taste weekly. Age for 1–3 weeks, depending on the barrel size and desired oak intensity. Once the desired flavor is achieved, transfer the mixture to a glass bottle to stop the aging process.

Apple Whiskey Essence ingredients including natural extracts, essential oils, propylene glycol and caramel color E150.

To effortlessly transform your home bar into a taste of Brazil, here's how to mix the Cachaça Essence: Simply combine one packet of the convenient, alcohol-free 20ml concentrate with 750ml of either vodka or neutral grain spirit for an authentic Brazilian-style sugarcane rum experience.

$Cachaça, pronounced ka-shah-sah, is Brazil's iconic sugarcane spirit. It is traditionally distilled from freshly pressed sugarcane juice rather than molasses. Unlike dark Caribbean rums, which are often molasses-based, true Brazilian cachaça delivers a bright, vegetal, grassy sugarcane flavor with subtle earthy depth and a smooth finish. It is the essential ingredient in Brazil’s national cocktail, the Caipirinha. What makes Cachaça unique? * Made from fresh sugarcane juice * Naturally fermented * Copper pot distilled * Sometimes rested in native Brazilian wood barrels * Known for grassy, herbal, citrus-friendly flavor Our Cachaça Essence captures that distinctive profile in a convenient, alcohol-free 20ml concentrate. Simply mix one packet with 750ml of vodka or neutral grain spirit to create your own Brazilian-style sugarcane rum experience at a fraction of the cost of imported spirits.$
