Cachaca Australia

Cachaça is to Brazil what single malt is to Scotland or Cognac is to France: a spirit intrinsically linked to cultural identity. Ever since the Portuguese established sugarcane plantations in the country in the early 1500s, the juice of the sugarcane has been turned into an alcoholic drink: fi rst a simple fermented "wine" - called "cachaço" by the slaves who worked on the plantations - and then a spirit, distilled from that raw base. Brazil produces well over a billion litres of cachaça each year, of which more than 80 per cent is consumed locally.
