Uruapan Charanda Blanco Rum
Experience the white rum par excellence from Casa Tarasco, a distillery dedicated to preserving the liquid history of Michoacán. Uruapan Blanco is a masterful blend that showcases the dual nature of traditional Charanda production. By marriage of 50 percent estate-grown fresh sugarcane juice distilled in copper pot stills with 50 percent molasses distilled in French-style column stills, this spirit achieves a complexity rarely found in unaged rums.
Protected by a Denominación de Origen (D.O.), this blanco is a true product of its environment. The Saccharum Officinarum cane is cultivated at an elevation of 4,180 feet in the iron-rich, red volcanic soil known as "Charanda" in the Purépecha language. The high-altitude climate and mineral-dense earth produce a rum that is as much about the land as it is about the craft.
Tasting Notes
- Aroma: Vibrant and aromatic, opening with the "green" scent of fresh-cut grass and rain-dampened earth. Layers of lime zest and green apple are complemented by a subtle, sweet floral note typical of high-altitude cane.
- Palate: The entry is smooth and surprisingly creamy thanks to the molasses component. This quickly gives way to the wild, rustic funk of the pot-still cane juice, offering flavors of tropical fruit, white pepper, and a hint of olive brine.
- Finish: Clean, crisp, and bracingly dry. It leaves a lingering mineral tingle and a bright citrus pop, making it an exceptional base for spirit-forward cocktails.

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.
