Água Luca is a luxury sugar cane-based rum from Brazil (cachaça). Cachaça (ka-SHAH-sah) simply means Brazilian rum made from the juice of fresh sugar cane.Água Luca is distilled from the fermented juice of high quality, hand-cut sugar cane within 24 hours of harvesting, employing artisanal techniques and traditions which have been refined over 450 years. It is then filtered 12 times to produce a smooth and lively finish. The quality of Água Luca?s sugar cane, when combined with its meticulous production process, imparts a lighter, cleaner taste and aroma than other cachaças or molasses-based rums.Among its accolades, Água Luca proudly holds the Gold Medal of the 2006 International Cane Spirits Competition and the Silver Medal of the 2005 San Francisco World Spirits Competition.
