Old Fisherman is a traditional Brazilian cachaça brand that traces its roots to Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, a region with a rich but often overlooked history of sugarcane spirit production. The brand pays tribute to Brazil’s coastal fishing heritage, with its iconic fisherman logo symbolizing patience, craftsmanship, and a connection to the country’s maritime culture. Originally developed at Fazenda Maribo, Old Fisherman became one of southern Brazil’s best-known cachaça labels before being acquired by the respected Brazilian distiller Weber Haus in 2014, ensuring the preservation of its legacy.
Today, Old Fisherman is produced by Weber Haus, one of Brazil’s premier family-owned distilleries located in Ivoti, Rio Grande do Sul. The spirit is crafted from freshly pressed Brazilian sugarcane juice rather than molasses, remaining true to traditional cachaça production. Brazil’s warm climate and fertile soils provide ideal conditions for sugarcane cultivation, producing a spirit with vibrant cane character and natural sweetness. Under Weber Haus, Old Fisherman continues to benefit from the company’s long-standing expertise in artisanal distillation and barrel maturation.

Production follows classic cachaça methods, beginning with the fermentation of fresh sugarcane juice before careful distillation. Depending on the expression, the spirit may be bottled unaged for a fresh, grassy profile or matured in oak to develop notes of vanilla, spice, and caramel while retaining the vibrant character that distinguishes cachaça from traditional rum. The result is a versatile spirit equally suited for Brazil’s iconic Caipirinha or enjoyed neat.
By bringing Old Fisherman into its portfolio, Weber Haus preserved one of southern Brazil’s historic cachaça brands while continuing to elevate its quality and reach. Today, Old Fisherman represents the meeting of traditional Brazilian sugarcane distillation, regional heritage, and modern craftsmanship, offering an authentic expression of one of Brazil’s most iconic national spirits.
