Charanda Single Estate Blended Rum

• Single estate sugarcane spirit produced by the Pacheco family in Uruapan, Michoacán
• Charanda Denomination of Origin
• Blend of 50% fresh pressed sugarcane and 50% molasses
• Distilled from single-estate molasses and fresh sugarcane cultivated over 4,000 feet above sea level
• Fresh sugarcane pressed using a water-powered mill and 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!
