Saliníssima Bálsamo
by Saliníssima · Cachaça · Salinas, Minas Gerais, Brazil
Saliníssima Bálsamo is the standard cachaça from Saliníssima, made at Fazenda Matrona, in the Salinas region, in the north of Minas Gerais. The farm has grown cane since 1955, when Olímpio Mendes began making cachaça and rapadura there; in the late 1990s, his son Alfredo and grandson Lucas Mendes took over production. The brand now belongs to the Natique Osborne group.
It is an alembic cachaça made with fermento caipira, a wild-yeast starter, and aged in bálsamo barrels, a Brazilian wood traditional in Salinas cachaças; Cachaçaria Nacional mentions 2 years in barrel. It is bottled at 42%, in a 670 ml bottle, and the brand suggests using it in shots, caipirinhas and mixed drinks.
