GERMANA SOUL

Light grass, earth, funk, mouthfeel is on the light side compared to other sugar cane rums I've had. Not bad, but not enough going on to make this a memorable sipper.

The history of this cachaça begins in 1912 in José de Melo, today Nova União, Minas Gerais. The founder, Sérgio Caetano, started to produce it in the small still on the farm for his own consumption, as his parents did. The Germana brand was inspired by a nun of the same name, who attracted numerous pilgrims to the Serra da Piedade Sanctuary, in Caeté, at the beginning of the 19th century. They sought healing with medicines based on cachaça and herbs. In 1988, the ten Caetano brothers, today shareholders of the Germana Group, took part in the leadership of the Minas Gerais Association of Quality Cachaça Producers (AMPAQ), a project that began in Minas and spread throughout Brazil. Since the beginning, the objective of this project has been to give cachaça the same status as all distilled beverages in the world. In order for the work of the Caetano brothers to flow with intensity, infecting the greatest possible number of consumers, they created, in 1989, the first Cachaçaria in Brazil in Belo Horizonte named Alambique Cachaçaria e Armazém, which completed its 25th anniversary. of success in 2014. Today, the Germana Group employs 200 employees in its companies, where the themes are always based on cachaça. This traditional label has been winning several awards in national and international competitions, in addition to being present in the cellars of the most demanding Brazilian and foreign consumers. Cachaça is distributed in all states of Brazil and exported to eight countries. Produced by hand in copper stills, Germana can be found in five versions, where storage location, aging time and wood used vary. Cachaça Germana Soul is a non-aged, light drink, with an alcohol content of 40%, and developed especially for the caipirinhas, drinks and cocktails market. It also pleases those who appreciate white cachaça in a creamy, dense and super cold state. For this, it is recommended to rest permanently inside a freezer, thus resulting in a refreshing and smooth sugarcane aroma and flavor. Its name Soul expresses the purity of the product in its pure and original form, as it is produced and immediately deposited in stainless steel barrels.
