Produced from sugar cane juice as with all Cachaca, it is double distilled before being aged in large oak vats for an unspecified time then blended and bottled in a delightfully old-school looking receptacle.
Originally founded in 1950 in the city of Piracicaba, in the interior of São Paulo, Velho Barreiro is one of the most important cachaça manufacturing companies in Brazil, occupying a prominent position in the marketing of distilled beverages and owning renowned brands such as: Velho Barreiro, Tatuzinho and 3 Fazendas.
