Uruapan Charanda Single Blended Añejo Rum is part of our Rum collection. It comes from Uruapan Charanda Rum and is crafted in Mexico.
This unique Mexican rum blends fresh-pressed sugarcane and molasses, distilled using both pot and column stills, creating a complex flavor profile that marries bright tropical notes with warm spices. Interestingly, it's made from sugarcane grown at an elevation of over 4,000 feet, giving it a distinct terroir-driven character rarely found in rums.
Cocktail enthusiasts should seek out Uruapan Charanda Single Blended Añejo Rum for its unique blend of pot-distilled fresh cane juice and column-distilled molasses, both made from estate-grown sugarcane cultivated at over 4,000 feet elevation in the volcanic soils of Michoacán, Mexico – a protected denomination of origin that sets it apart from typical Caribbean rums.
Uruapan Charanda Single Blended Añejo Rum shines when sipped neat or with a single large ice cube, allowing its complex flavors to unfold, but it also excels in spirit-forward cocktails that showcase its unique character; enjoy it year-round, particularly on warm evenings, paired with grilled meats or tropical fruit desserts.
Nose: Fresh tropical fruits like pineapple and mango mingle with warm caramel and toasted coconut. Hints of clove and banana add complexity, while a subtle smokiness lingers in the background.
Palate: Smooth and well-balanced. The initial sip brings ripe banana and juicy pineapple, followed by vanilla custard and brown sugar. Oak influence adds depth with notes of cinnamon and nutmeg. A slight grassy character reminds of the rum's sugarcane origins.
Finish: Medium to long. Warming spices like clove and black pepper emerge, balanced by lingering tropical fruit sweetness. A whisper of smoke and a touch of dark chocolate provide a satisfying conclusion. The 46% ABV leaves a pleasant warmth without overwhelming heat.
Uruapan Charanda Single Blended Añejo Rum is crafted using a unique blend of 50% fresh-pressed sugarcane juice distilled in copper pot stills and 50% molasses distilled in a French-style column still, both sourced from estate-grown sugarcane cultivated at over 4,000 feet above sea level; this high-altitude terroir and the combination of two distillation methods results in a complex spirit that captures both the pure essence of sugarcane and the rich depth of traditional rum production.

View RecipesI really like charanda's mix of a standard rum Agricole along with a mezcal-like smokiness. While I find this particular charanda lacking in the smoke notes I really like, it does add an interesting twist with the bourbon barrel aging. It has a pleasant, woody nose. Spicy, but smoother than the regular Uruapan charanda. Curious to try this in my rum Agricole cocktails.
