Aged for 3 years in garapeira (Brazilian Ash) barrels, Abelha Gold reveals honeyed, balsamic and subtly spiced notes while preserving the spirit’s original sugarcane character. Organic, additive-free and naturally gluten-free, it offers a uniquely Brazilian aged profile—smooth, complex and intriguing.

Prepare for a Brazilian aged spirit unlike anything you’ve tasted before. Abelha Original Cachaça Gold challenges the dominance of oak and introduces a world of unexpected, intriguing flavours—even for seasoned drinkers.

Aged for 3 years in small 250-litre garapeira barrels—a type of Brazilian Ash prized for enhancing, not masking, the spirit—this cachaça develops a honeyed, balsamic character with a subtle spiced lift.
Unlike oak-aged spirits, it won’t deliver vanilla or toffee notes. Instead, garapeira wood adds a uniquely Brazilian depth while preserving the core sugarcane profile.
And like all Abelha expressions, it’s organic, with no added sugar, no impurities, and naturally gluten-free.

On the nose, it’s warm and aromatic. On the palate, the original cane notes remain at the centre, wrapped in layers of natural sweetness and delicate spice.
Sipped neat, on ice, or mixed into cocktails like the Bee’s N Ting or the elegant Nova Abelha, it offers a mature, distinctive flavour experience that captivates.

Discover the unexpected side of Brazilian ageing.
Abelha Original Cachaça Gold: matured, complex, and unmistakably unique.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Abelha Cachaca?Fabian Urrutia2025-12-17T06:58:34+00:00

What is Abelha Cachaca?

Abelha Cachaça is a small batch, hand-crafted, artisanal, organic cachaca that comes from Bahia, North East Brasil – a cultural and naturally beautiful region. The distillery is near an old diamond-mining town called Rio de Contas in one of Brasil’s largest national reserves – the Chapada Diamantina. The town is nestled high in the hills of the reserve, at 1,200m altitude, and is the perfect place for growing our organic sugar cane. The temperature differential between day and night means the cane retains large amounts of fresh natural sugar, which is where Abelha gets its unique sweet taste. Our Master Distiller, Marcos Vaccaro, is an expert in all things organic and the distillery is surrounded by fresh waterfalls, 27 different types of organic fruit trees which contributes to Abelha’s distinct aromas. Abelha Cachaca, The Fazenda in Brazil and The Responsible Trading Company is found on the principles of teaching local farmers in the vicinity how to farm organically.

What is the story behind the name?Fabian Urrutia2025-12-17T06:59:53+00:00

What is the story behind the name?

Abelha means bee in portuguese. Bees are social insects that work together to create delicious honey. We are a social enterprise of farmers, Rio de contas locals who help with labelling, distillers and others who come together to make this refined aromatic cachaça. The enterprise goes further when we incorporate the wider business of sales, marketers, business developers, who all contribute and further the ‘Abelha project’ by giving back to the Rio De Contas Community. Abelha connects communities in the farming worldto the the hospitality and bartending world all over the world through this hand-crafted, high quality cachaça.

Why do you care about organic farming techniques?Fabian Urrutia2025-12-17T07:00:21+00:00

Why do you care about organic farming techniques?

It’s always been our underling principles and shared values between the Responsible Trading Company and the Fazenda Vaccaro. We have managed to certify 4 farmers in the local area in becoming organically certified by the IBD (institituo BioDynamico), and we aim to increase this number to 10 within the next decade. It provides a more natural, cleaner, end product that, in turn, doesn’t produce any toxins or impurities in the Cachaca that is being produced with the juice from the organic sugar cane. Plus, most importantly, evidence suggests that if you only drink organic alcohols and don’t mix then it reduces the effects of a hangover the next morning!

Do you have any tips on how to farm organically and/or how to watch out for cleaner, healthier-end products?Fabian Urrutia2025-12-17T07:01:26+00:00

Do you have any tips on how to farm organically and/or how to watch out for cleaner, healthier-end products?

Marcos provides coaching and training out in Brazil so we encourage you to go out to the farm in Rio De Contas to watch, listen and learn on his organic technologies and techniques as they are very useful if you are looking to getting into organic farming.

Regarding tips on organic produce – I’d always stick to shopping at places such as Wholefoods that have great organic farming colloborations and partnerships all over the world, Planet Organic, and there are always loads of organic deli in most European capital cities.
