You seem to have been offered a very nice Cachaca..i don`t know much about it but found this;

Its a cachaзa which has been aged for 24 years. Preciosa had been left to mature in 19th century European oak barrels since 1982, until it was discovered in 2004. Only 3,000 bottles been produced.

Stocked only in the top style bars and restaurants across the UK, 5 bottles of Preciosa recently went under the hammer at Christie’s for Ј2,500. Chicago’s Beverage Testing Institute, described Preciosa as “an elegant and poised aged cane spirit with a great balance, subtlety, power, and finesse,” and awarded it 96 out of 100 points; making it the only cachaзa in the world in the Superlative category of 96 points and over.

That is quite a find. 24 years in oak barrels which were over a hundred years old isn't going to add as much to the spirit as a barrel which hasn't been used for a hundred years but it should certainly improve a fresh cachaca. I can only assume the barrels had been in use for those hundred years or they would probably have dried out and been unusable.

At roughly 30 cases per barrel, depending on the alcohol strength and assuming the barrels were full, which if they were truly undiscovered since 1982 would have given up a lot of their contents to the angels, it sounds like there were quite a few, or large, barrels which had been undiscovered since 1982. Quite a find indeed!

My friends at BTI say it's very good, they were told the same story while recently in Brazil but didn't see the barrels.
