FAQ:
1. What’s the difference between cachaça and rum?
Cachaça is made from fresh-pressed sugarcane juice, while most rum is made from molasses. This gives cachaça a fresher, grassier profile.

“Reserva” indicates that the spirit has been aged in wood barrels—in this case, native Brazilian bálsamo wood—which imparts unique herbal and woody notes.

Absolutely. Ypióca Reserva works beautifully in Caipirinhas, tropical punches, or even in creative twists on classic whiskey or rum drinks.
