Uruapan Charanda Cana Cristalina Cascahuin Tequila Cask Aged

Charanda aged in a tequila cask is Michoacán meeting Jalisco — and Cascahuín is one of tequila's most respected traditional distilleries. Charanda is Mexico's rum, protected by a Denomination of Origin like Champagne; the Pacheco family has made it in Uruapan, Michoacán, since 1907, at 4,180 feet in the red volcanic soil the Purépecha named the spirit for. This release takes the Single Agricola Caña Cristalina — 100% fresh cane juice from the pale, high-sugar crystal variety, copper-pot distilled — and ages it in a cask that previously held tequila at Cascahuín in El Arenal, Jalisco, the family distillery famed for its traditional, additive-free tequila, bottled with nothing added; check your label for the ABV. Where the Criolla edition is earthier, the Cristalina's clean, bright cane meets the tequila wood with more delicacy: expect honeydew, white flowers, and lime layered with cooked agave, gentle pepper, and the vanilla and golden tint of the oak, opening into a crisp, faintly sweet, savory palate where cane and agave weave together, finishing clean and moderately long. Honest note: this is a limited, category-bending bottle for the drinker who loves both agricole and tequila — a collector's charanda. Neat, with a drop of water, or in a Paloma that tastes like two Mexican states. Since 1907, through Jalisco's wood.
