This intriguing rum is from the tiny Denominacion de Origen of Charanda in Michoacan, Mexico. It is a 50/50 blend of molasses distilled on a column still and fresh cane juice from a copper pot still. The sugar cane varietal, Saccharum Officinarum, is grown at 4180 feet above sea level in the red-colored volcanic soils of Uruapan, the village most associated with Charanda rums. This is wonderfully smooth, rich, and a touch funky with hints of mint and almond. A delicious alternative to Rum from the Caribbean!
