Cachaca, which can only be made in Brazil, is believed to have been first distilled in the country in 1516. It is also regarded to be the world's third most produced spirit, after vodka and China's baijui. Brazil makes some 800 million litres of cachaca a year. Yet such is the thirst for the spirit in Brazil, less than 1% is exported. Must try.
