About
Brazil's pioneering whisky producer, located in the southern state of Rio Grande do Sul. Originally established to produce grain spirits, the Weber Haus family transformed the operation into South America's first serious single malt whisky distillery. The subtropical climate of southern Brazil -- warm but with genuine winter cold fronts from Patagonia -- provides a maturation environment that falls between tropical and temperate extremes. Uses a combination of locally grown barley and imported Scottish malt. Ages in American oak, French oak, and amburana wood (a native Brazilian hardwood that imparts unique cinnamon-vanilla-tropical fruit notes found nowhere else in world whisky). The amburana-finished single malt is the signature expression and has generated significant interest among whisky enthusiasts seeking genuinely novel flavor profiles. Represents a fascinating intersection of Brazilian cachaça tradition and Scottish whisky technique.
