Charanda, Single Estate Blended Rum, Uruapan Charanda

• Single estate sugarcane spirit produced by the historic Pacheco family in Uruapan, Michoacán • Blend of 50% fresh pressed sugarcane and 50% molasses • D.O., single estate molasses & fresh sugarcane cultivated over 4,000 feet above sea level; pressed using a water-powered mill • Fresh sugarcane open-air fermented 11 days; molasses close-fermented for 48 hours • Cane juice distilled twice in 1,000-liter, wood-fired, copper pot stills • Molasses distilled using a short, French-style column still • Full of mango and banana with an earthy, mineralic depth to balance the bright fruit; a whisp of smoke on the finish • 46% ABV Uruapan Charanda’s flagship expression strikes a lovely balance between the terroir-specific character of the Pacheco’s estate-grown sugarcane and an aromatic funk reminiscent of a faintly smoky Jamaican rum. The unique split between cane juice and molasses makes this an extremely versatile cocktail ingredient with range and flexibility!
