So the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympics games have come to a sweet end. There\u2019s a massive come down across the capital and beyond as we come to the realisation that the eyes of the world are no longer upon us. Instead they turn to Brazil for both the World Cup 2014 and Rio Olympics 2016. It\u2019s all going to be about Brazil from here on in so Elysium thought it apt to look at their contribution to the discerning gent\u2019s drinks cabinet, and it\u2019s rather special. So, for your drinks cabinet this week is the delectable Sagatiba Preciosa cacha\u00e7a.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"For those of you wondering just what cacha\u00e7a is (tut tut), it\u2019s the spirit that makes up the cocktail of choice for many parties: the caipirinha. Cacha\u00e7a is sugar cane rum that\u2019s versatile and ideal for cocktails. However it\u2019s best served up as Brazil\u2019s national cocktail together with sugar and lime muddled together in holy union. Sagatiba makes a mighty fine cacha\u00e7a, but the Preciosa is truly worthy of a place amongst the discerning gent\u2019s collection.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As with cognac, cacha\u00e7a is considered a region-specific product and cannot be produced outside Brazil. The vintage of Preciosa is what gives its unique character, aged since the early 1980\u2019s in huge cognac barrels to produce an golden-amber coloured spirit unlike the many white cacha\u00e7as available. The lengthy aging process crafts the Preciosa into something with elegance, designed to be savoured.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

On the nose you get a very subtle yet intense woody scent with toasted coconut, but it\u2019s the taste that brings this cacha\u00e7a to life. There\u2019s a deep taste of old oak, then with raisin, cinnamon, tabacco and lastly vanilla on the finish. It\u2019s a complex, yet very satisfying tipple to enjoy neat like a cognac or in the classic caiprinha. The Preciosa is a rare one too, which adds to its exclusivity and fuels its desirability in equal measure.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The way Elysium Magazine sees it, discerning gents have the next two years ahead to debate away with pals. First about the home nations\u2019 chances in football World Cup and then a further two years later on whether Team GB can build upon the stunning foundations laid at London 2012. There isn\u2019t a better way to get you into the mood for Brazil than with a Sagatiba Preciosa-inspired drink in one hand as samba beats drift through the air. Elysium says bring on the Copacabana!<\/p>\n
