For thousands of years, South American peoples have revered it as an aphrodisiac, making beverages for consumption before conquests and trading in cacao beans as a currency. Today the cacao bean is the base for all real chocolate.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nSolbeso, which comes from cacao fruit, is a completely new type of alcohol. The legendary cacao fruit, rich in natural stimulants, is fermented and craft-distilled to make a super-premium, clear 80-proof spirit with a unique character and taste. Solbeso has enough versatility to be enjoyed both over ice and in classic cocktails, adding a new color to the palette and new vitality to crafted drinks. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nFirst discovered in the tropics of northern Peru, Solbeso comes to life from a special blend of priced aromatic cacao fruit, hand-selected for intensity and character.  Solbeso contains many of the stimulants found in raw cacao, including naturally-occurring caffeine and theobromine, however there is no taste of chocolate as the fresh fruit must be captured before the cocoa powder process is initiated. The highly perishable fruit open-air ferments directly at the source using natural and Champagne yeast to develop the distinctive flavor and character.  It is then twice-distilled using custom-made copper alembics to help concentrate the aromas and complete the unique process of refining the flavor into an incredibly smooth spirit. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"caskers-brand-info\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"story-subtitle\"\u003eAbout Solbeso\u003c\/h2\u003e\n                                            Naturally organic and 100% pure, the cacao fruit used for Solbeso is harvested at fair-trade family farms in remote regions of Ecuador and Peru, where cacao has been a way of life for centuries.  Local farmers harvest the bean to make cocoa powder, discarding the fruit in the process as a by-product of chocolate-making.  Giving new life and opportunity for this by-product, Solbeso works directly with growers and trade organizations to reclaim and process the fruit into a completely new and unique type of spirit, providing much needed income and education to local communities in the process.                                        \u003cdiv class=\"brand-link\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.caskers.com\/spirits\/?brand_dropdown=3833\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eExplore all Solbeso bottles \u0026gt;\u0026gt;\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"caskers-spirit-type-info\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"story-subtitle\"\u003eAbout Other Spirits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe understand that some people are explorers at heart, and the classics just won't cut it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor those people, many other unique spirits are not listed in the main categories but are still worth the mention, such as \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.caskers.com\/catalogsearch\/result\/?q=absinthe\"\u003eabsinthe\u003c\/a\u003e, aperitivos, and other Special spirits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou're welcome to check our excellent \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.caskers.com\/spirits\/other\/\"\u003especial spirit selection\u003c\/a\u003e, find your favorite in the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.caskers.com\/top-10-other\/\"\u003eTop 10 list of other spirits\u003c\/a\u003e, or explore the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.caskers.com\/spirits\/other\/?price=0-50\"\u003eBest other spirits under $50\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n","brand":"Caskers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51411728433365,"sku":null,"price":46.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0721\/7810\/6581\/files\/salbeso01.jpg?v=1745568480","url":"https:\/\/www.swiglab.com\/products\/solbeso-original","provider":"SwigLab","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
