Sagatiba:
The Pure Spirit of Brazil
Sagatiba
cachaça, the essential ingredient for a refreshing summer
Caipirinha has arrived on our shores. Combining the Nordic suffix
'saga' which means 'legendary search' with the Brazilian native word
'tiba' meaning 'infinite', Sagatiba literally means an infinite
search - a search for quality, purity and flavour.
Distilled from
fresh sugar cane juice, the result is Sagatiba Pura: a premium
cachaça with a pure, clean spirit, smooth taste and a soft,
crystal-clean aroma. Aside from Pura, Sagatiba also produces Sagatiba
Velha, a blend of the finest Brazilian cachaças, which are
then slowly aged in oak barrels. The result is a cachaça that
embodies care and attention to every last detail - a golden liquid
with a fruity aroma and full bodied flavour, perfect for drinking straight.
Due to its
purity, quality and smooth taste, Sagatiba is the most versatile
cachaça available in the market. It, like no other, makes a
great Caipirinha - the most Brazilian of drinks, but the
possibilities it can provide go way beyond the traditional mix. From
twists on classic cocktails, such as the Mojito, to more contemporary
concoctions, Sagatiba is the most versatile of spirits.
