by Seleta · Cachaça · Salinas, Minas Gerais, Brazil
Seleta + Carvalho is a cachaça from Cachaças Seleta, a house in Salinas, in the north of Minas Gerais, founded in 1980 by Antônio Rodrigues. The brand presents it as another creation of the founder, the result of years of trials, and it received a silver medal at the 1st Minas Gerais alembic cachaça competition, organized by Emater-MG, in 2024.
It is a blend of two of the house's alembic cachaças: Seleta, stored in umburana, and Antônio Rodrigues, aged in a French oak barrel. The declared storage time is 3.5 years. It comes in at 42%, in 700 ml and 1-liter bottles, and the house recommends it neat, with snacks and meat, or in drinks with dark chocolate, cinnamon, nuts, coffee or guaraná.
