Product Information

Most of the moonshine in Spain is made as a byproduct of winemaking by distilling the squeezed skins of the grapes. The essential product is called " orujo" or " aguardiente" (burning water). The homemade versions are usually more potent and have a higher alcoholic content, well over the 40% that the commercial versions typically have. It is often mixed with herbs, spices, fruits, or other distillates. Types include pacharán, licor de café and orujo de hierbas (tea mixed with orujo). Câmara, Marcelo. Cachaça - prazer brasileiro.'

However, this is not always the case and many brands are made from sugar syrup or molasses. The big brands tend to burn the sugar to accelerate the breakdown of sugars, while the smaller distillers tend to use cane syrup.

No Brasil, a primeira vez que o termo aparece foi História Natural do Brasil, de Guilherme Piso e Jorge Marcgrave, publicado em 1640: “… A escuma é recebida numa canoa posta em baixo, chamada tanque, e assim também a cachaça, a qual serve de bebida para os burros”.

Today, brandy usually contains 35–60% alcohol by volume and is typically consumed as an after-dinner digestif. It’s significantly out of fashion to mix it with lots of water to create a much lower alcohol drink. Although a few dashes to enhance the flavour is acceptable! Traditionally produced brandies are still aged in wooden casks. However cheaper ones use a variety of manufacturing processes to imitate the caramel colours and effects of aging.
