Distilled in 1982, Sagatiba Preciosa was matured in 19th century European oak barrels until its discovery in 2004 when it was filtered & purified according to the highest quality standards to ensure its original characteristics, such as aroma & flavour, would be preserved. Chicagos Beverage Testing Institute, the worlds foremost alcoholic beverage analysis institute, described Preciosa as an elegant & poised aged cane spirit with a great balance subtlety, power, & finesse, & awarded it 96 out of 100 points; making it the only cachaca in the world in the Superlative Category of 96 points & over.
