Chris and Elliot spent the good part of 18 months searching for the perfect oak aged Caribbean rum. Many taste tests were conducted with friends and family before finally settling on their first cask.

They then started tinkering with spicing the rum right here in New Zealand, blending the rich history of the Caribbean with the adventurous spirit of New Zealand. 

The subtle caramel sweetness of the rum with a vanilla back bone allowed the beautiful spices to come through, highlighting local citrus, nutmeg and clove.

The infusion became more refined and complex, through out lock down. And by the end they were happy with the result. Let the bottling begin!

Cachaca Sagatiba - Sagatiba is distilled from fresh pressed sugarcane juice and maintains the bright, fruity flavours and stimulating natural bouquet of its main ingredient. Cachaça is often compared to rum, which is also derived from sugarcane. Yet with its lively and fresh cane characteristics, cachaça stands apart from rum, which is made from molasses, a by-product of sugar refineries. Sagatiba is distilled up to four times to render a spirit of maximum purity.

It is made with a modern and innovative distillation process (the first brand to produce this way!): Multi Distillation. In this process, we distill the rum more than once, separating any impurity. The result is a pure, crystalline liquid, which fits well with any mixture, from traditional caipirinha to drinks!

Sagatiba Pura’s cutting edge multi-distillation process produces a very

clean spirit with the delicate flavour and aroma of fresh cut sugarcane.
