Uruapan Charanda Cana Mexicana Blanco Single Agricola Rum

Charanda is Mexico's rum — protected by a Denomination of Origin like Champagne — and Uruapan's single-agricola series bottles it one cane variety at a time. The Pacheco family has made charanda in Uruapan, Michoacán, since 1907, at 4,180 feet in the red volcanic soil the Purépecha named the spirit for; the DO, granted in 2003, covers only sixteen municipalities. The Single Agricola line is 100% fresh cane juice — no molasses — pressed from a single variety, fermented, distilled in copper pot stills, and bottled unaged with nothing added; check your label for the exact ABV. Caña Mexicana is the workhorse cane of Michoacán, the variety most charanda is made from: expect the series' most representative bottle — a nose of fresh cane, green banana, lime zest, and a faint earthy, saline funk, opening into a full, vegetal, gently sweet palate with pepper and volcanic minerality, finishing long and dry. Tasted beside the Criolla, Cristalina, Morada, and Mayari, it shows how much a cane variety changes a spirit from the same field and still. Honest note: this is a grassy cane spirit for agricole and clairin lovers — drinkers expecting Bacardí should know. For a Ti' Punch, a Daiquiri, a charanda Paloma, or the tasting flight, it's Michoacán's own cane. Since 1907.
