Uruapan Charanda Blanco Single Blended Rum

About this bottle

Produced by the Pacheco family in Uruapan, Michoacán, Mexico, Charanda is a sugarcane distillate recognized by a Denomination of Origin established in 2003, restricting its production to sixteen municipalities within Michoacán. The Blanco variety is a combination of 50% fresh-pressed sugarcane juice and 50% molasses, with the sugarcane cultivated at over 4,000 feet above sea level on the family's sole estate. The sugarcane juice undergoes open-air fermentation for eleven days before being twice distilled in wood-fired copper pot stills, while the molasses is distilled in a short French-style column still. The Pacheco family has been crafting Charanda in Uruapan since 1907. This bottling is at 92 proof.
