Established in the 16th century in the Madeira Islands, cachaça was founded in Portugal, but production was later moved to Brazil. Cachaça is exclusive to Brazil and cannot be manufactured elsewhere, hence it is popularly known as Brazilian cachaça.

Created from fermented sugar canes, the distillation process takes place in pot stills and is matured for anywhere between 12 months to 12 years. The level of copper in the pot still is instrumental in the production process.
