Uruapan Charanda Anejo Rum

This single blended rum is 50% estate grown cane juice distilled on a copper pot still, and 50% molasses distilled on a modified french style column still. The sugarcane varietal is Saccharum Officinarum, grown at 4180 feet above sea level in red volcanic soil. This Añejo Charanda has also been aged in ex-bourbon barrels for a minimum of 22 months, lending the juicy, tropical fruit laden spirit notes of smoke, anise, clove, toasted coconut, and a hint of drying oak that makes it a fantastic candidate for stirred drinks like Rum Old Fashioneds or Tropical Sazeracs. Bottled at 46% ABV.

This rum is a protected denomination of origin spirit from Mexico known as Charanda. Made in the State of Michoacán in the vicinity of the prominently agricultural City of Uruapan. Named after a hill range in the area called 'Cerro de la Charanda' where the first distillery was built in the region, Charanda is a term in Purépecha language meaning 'red-colored soil'.
