The Rums of Mexico: Caña Criolla (Pedro) 700ML
Experience the authentic spirit of Oaxaca with Caña Criolla by local maestro Pedro Bautista. Sourced from 100% yellow Caña Criolla sugarcane cultivated by Daniel Vega Santiago in the sun-drenched village of Zoquiapam Boca de Los Ríos, this vibrant heirloom cane thrives alongside native columnar cacti and wild botanicals. Fermented in 1,100-liter closed tanks for over twenty days, the unrefined cane juice is then distilled on a custom, wood-fired four-plate continuous copper still that Pedro has operated for over two decades. Bottled at a robust 51.9% ABV, this unaged aguardiente offers a complex, wonderfully expressive profile that balances rich fruit, warm earthiness, and a delightful touch of savory character.
Tasting Notes
- Nose: Intensely aromatic and expressive. Opens with notes of fresh sourdough, ripe apricot, and sweet mango, balanced by a subtle grassiness and earthy mineral nuances.
- Palate: Rich, layered, and vibrant. Upfront flavors of toasted almond and dried currants give way to playful, sweet notes of bubblegum and bright, tart sour cherry.
- Finish: Long, warm, and lingering. Retains a crisp fruitiness alongside gentle wood-fired spice and rustic cane sweetness.
Serving Suggestion
Enjoy neat or with a splash of pure water to open up its complex fruity and floral undertones. It also serves as an extraordinary, high-proof base for craft cocktails like a Daiquiri, Ti' Punch, or modern agave and cane creations.

What is the difference between Tequila & Mezcal?
Tequila is a type of mezcal, much like how scotch and bourbon are types of whiskey.
Tequila and mezcal are both types of agave-based spirits that are popular in Mexico, but there are some key differences between the two. Tequila is made exclusively from the blue agave plant, which is primarily grown in the area surrounding the city of Tequila, about 40 miles northwest of Guadalajara. Mezcal, on the other hand, can be made from any type of agave plant, and is often made using traditional, labor-intensive methods.
One of the most noticeable differences between tequila and mezcal is their flavor. Tequila is typically smooth and subtle, with hints of fruit and spices, while mezcal has a more complex, smoky flavor that comes from the roasting of the agave hearts before they are fermented and distilled.
Another difference between the two spirits is their production process. Tequila is typically made using modern industrial methods, while mezcal is often produced using traditional techniques that have been passed down for generations. This can give mezcal a more authentic, artisanal character.
In general, tequila is considered to be a more refined and sophisticated spirit, while mezcal is often viewed as a more rustic and traditional drink. Both are popular in Mexico and are enjoyed around the world, so the best way to decide which one you like is to try them both and see which one suits your tastes.
