Reviewed February 4, 2024Alambique Batista was founded by José Batista de Oliveira in 1943, at Fazenda Cachoeirinha, in Sacramento, Minas Gerais, on land bordering the Serra da Canastra National Park. At that time, in the middle of World War II, with Brazil in a sugar production crisis, José Batista cultivated on his farm a variety of sugarcane known as Argentina or Tucumã, used in the manufacture of rapaduras to make up for the sugar shortage. It was then that José Batista came up with the idea of fermenting and distilling the broth made from rapaduras, thus inaugurating the production of the drink that would become a legend in the region. In 1958, the brand, at the time called Caninha Batista, gained the famous star logo associated with the slogan "Estrela das Gerais”, enchanting palates until 1974, when its activities were suspended. Today, very few bottles from those early days are kept as rare jewels in the collection of a privileged few. Upon turning 90, Mr. José Batista confessed to his son-in-law Marco Antonio Afonso da Mota his desire to continue his project. Challenge accepted, Marco inherited the secrets and techniques of how to make a good cachaça and continues to perpetuate his father-in-law's dream, keeping alive the legend of the drink and its unparalleled quality. In 2008, with enthusiasm and a keen entrepreneurial spirit, Marco Antônio and his son, Marco Elísio, built the new Cachaça Batista facilities at Fazenda Boa Sorte, rescuing a tradition of more than 70 years, renewed by modern production techniques. Today, the new factory consolidates its position as an enterprise that honors the brand's tradition and projects a new cycle for permanence in a scenario that is openly receptive to Brazilian still cachaça. In turn, the bar called Timbuca in Belo Horizonte labeled Batista cachaça with its name (Timbuca). Golden yellow, aromatic, dried fruits, honey, vanilla, balanced acidity and sweetness, integrated alcohol, prolonged finish. Source: Cachaçaria Nacional.10.0 USD per BottleTimbuca Bar
