How It's Made

Fun Facts

Product Details

Nose: Intense and vegetal with pronounced olive brine, fresh sugarcane juice, and pickled green tomatoes. Hints of burning plastic and sauerkraut add intrigue. Subtle notes of orange zest, rice vinegar, and star anise emerge with time.

Palate: Surprisingly approachable given the bold nose. Fresh sugarcane juice leads, followed by underripe pineapple and bitter orange peel. Briny olives reappear, balanced by sushi rice, clove, and cinnamon oil. Lemonhead candies and juniper berries add complexity.

Finish: Medium-long and citrus-forward. Herbal notes emerge alongside a subtle barbecue smoke. The sugarcane sweetness lingers, complemented by a gentle spice warmth.

Uruapan Charanda Agricole Single Estate Rum is crafted from 100% fresh sugarcane juice pressed by a water-powered mill, then open-air fermented for at least 10 days before being double-distilled in 1,000-liter wood-fired copper pot stills, resulting in a spirit that captures the terroir of high-altitude (4,000+ feet) Michoacán sugarcane and the traditional charanda production methods.

Uruapan Charanda is made using a water-powered mill to crush the sugarcane, harnessing the natural energy of a nearby stream to create this unique spirit in an eco-friendly way.

The sugarcane for this rum is grown at over 4,000 feet above sea level, making it one of the highest-altitude sugarcane spirits in the world and contributing to its distinct mineral-rich flavor profile.

Uruapan Charanda is part of Mexico's protected "Denomination of Origin" for spirits, putting it in the same elite category as tequila and mezcal, despite being a rum-like spirit made from sugarcane.
