Uruapan Charanda Cana Criolla 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 Criolla is the old creole cane, the variety the Spanish brought and the one closest to Mexico's colonial rum: expect a nose of fresh cane, green grass, lime, and a faint saline, earthy funk, opening into a bright, mineral, vegetal palate with white pepper and a savory depth, finishing clean and long. Tasted beside the Cristalina, Mexicana, Morada, and Mayari, it shows how much a cane variety changes a spirit from the same field and still. Honest note: this is a wild, grassy cane spirit for agricole and clairin lovers — drinkers expecting Bacardí should know. For a Ti' Punch, a Daiquiri, a Mezcal-style neat pour, or the tasting flight, it's Michoacán's creole cane. Since 1907.
