THE ORIGINS OF TIJUCA BRAZILIAN BLENDED RUM
The TIJUCA adventure has made it possible to create a unique rum, offering a unique taste, shaped in successive stages thanks to the imagination and know-how of passionate women and men.
At the origin is a meticulous selection of five cachaças from the essential distilleries of the State of Rio de Janeiro in Brazil. Thus, distinct terroirs are expressed whose typicality is highlighted in a perfect balance, thanks to the finesse and lightness of the distillation of sugar cane in a copper still.
BORN IN THE WOODS OF RIO
Then comes the time for aging in barrels made from trees from the Mata Atlântica, a Brazilian coastal forest with exceptional biodiversity.
Escaping the omnipresence of oak, our distillates will thus benefit from wood essences with incomparable aromas and textures.
This stage takes place on the original terroirs, taking advantage of the tropical climate which offers the future rum, through a unique oxidation, excellent maturity as well as a high concentration of aromas thanks to a very significant “angels’ share”.
IN THE COUNTRY OF COGNAC: THE TIME OF HUMANS
After crossing the Atlantic, our distillates arrive in the Cognac region where the blending stage takes place, a crucial moment where all the innovative talent of our French cellar master is revealed.
A jealously guarded recipe combined with the unique experience of a great professional, conferred by the traditions of cognac, make it possible to unite the aromatic profiles of the different terroirs in a rum with a subtle harmony, offering the best in terms of balance, on the nose as well as in the mouth.
THE FINAL TOUCH
Finally, here is the ultimate step: refining in French oak barrels that have contained white port. The alcohol that sleeps peacefully in the barrels is then impregnated with the aromatic compounds present in the wood, ensuring our rum's stability while bringing a final gourmet touch, full of complexity and finesse. Thus, the DNA of TIJUCA Brazilian Blended Rum is based on great human qualities that take advantage of the role of time and the search for diversity in order to allow you to taste a high-quality spirit that will conquer hearts.
