Review: This was my first purchase based on previous reviews. It really is very good, smoother than I expected. It makes an excellent Caipirinha. It is rapidly becoming my wife's and my favourite sundowner.

Review: Germana is the perfect Cachaca for capirinias. Aged just enough to make the drink smooth and complex, without leaving it so far away from the cane that you miss the earthy, chlorophyll like bouquet found in younger Cachaca.

Review: Wow! Just take the lid off and smell it! The sugar cane jumps up your nose. A pure balanced mix of Cane sugar, demerara, figs and dates. Creamy unobtrusive palatte with a lingering spice after-taste. Unless you're willing to spend more, forget the rest. Leaf-covered bottle is a talking point for friends and clients.

Producer Information

Minas Gerais is one of the most important states of the Brazilian's federation from the economic, cultural, political and historical point of view.
Since the middle of the XIII century the gold and diamond's discovery turned the small area called Vila Rica de Ouro Preto into one of the world's most important metropolis with more than 100.000 inhabitants while cities like Buenos Aires and even New York had only 10.000 of them.
The gold race in Minas Gerais according to the Austrian rider Stefan Zweig was the biggest one of all times exceeding the Californian and Siberian's.
However the gold was mostly the alluvium kind (surface gold, mixed to the gravel of the rivers) and it was depleted in half a century resulting the dispersion of thousands of people, this phenomenon explains the enormous amount of cities (826), towns-villages (3.000) and the amazing diversity and cultural treasures of Minas Gerais.
That is how the city Nova União was born. On the region of Caeté and surroundings, in Minas Gerais, was registered the word Germana to designate cachaça (Ka'- Shah'- sa). The name Germana means something without mixes, pure, genuine. It also has its beginnings on the cultural-religious phenomenon happened on the beginning of the XIX century, when a nun called Germana who lived next to a famous sanctuary (Nossa Senhora da Piedade's Church), has unexpected attacks of throes and revelations of mystical nature, attracting thousands of people in pilgrimage due to the medicines prepared by her with Cachaça and herbs. For these reasons the cachaça produced by the Caetano family received the name Germana. When the Caetano family, rooted in the Caeté region for over one century, started the cachaça's production wanted to do honor to this region's habits and the religious tradition, making a registration of the beverage with the name of the mystical Germana, a remarkable personage of the popular imaginary, which consolidated the Nossa Senhora da Piedade sanctuary as a pilgrimage place until these days. The memory of Sister Germana will be eternalized as a trademark of a high quality beverage, with fragrance, flavor and original packaging, that add the secular tradition of the stills of Minas Gerais to the newest production's technologies and occupies a highlight position referring to the consumers' preferences all over the country attending the most demanding tastes.
