The Agapito brothers were born in Santos, a coastal town south of São Paulo, where the first Cachaça distillery was set up almost 500 years ago. At the age of 19, Rafael moved to Ireland, Cassiano offered to send Rafael a few bottles of a very special Cachaça that he had come across in Brasil. Rafael proposed a partnership to the distiller to develop and export a Cachaça that was traditionally handcrafted in small batches, a perfect ingredient for cocktails and had a reasonable price tag.
