Copalli Single Estate Cacao Rum
Copalli Single Estate Cacao Rum is a 40% ABV (80 proof), 750mL rum from Copal Tree Distillery in southern Belize. It starts as Copalli white rum — fresh-pressed juice from organic heirloom sugar cane grown on the adjacent Copal Tree Farm, with rainwater and non-GMO yeast — then rests for several weeks on roasted, 100% organic cacao nibs from the same farm before being redistilled. No molasses, no added sugar, and a distillery built for zero waste. It is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor.

Rainforest Rum, Cacao From the Same Farm
Copalli is a single-estate project in the Belize rainforest: the cane, the cacao, the rainwater, and the distillery all sit together at Copal Tree. Master Distiller Ed Tiedge infuses the white rum with freshly harvested organic cacao nibs, then redistills it, so the chocolate character is part of the spirit rather than a flavouring layered on top.

Tasting Notes
Nose: Distinctive, clear cacao. Palate: Belizean chocolate and berry character with balanced cocoa. Finish: Long and creamy.
How to Enjoy
Sip it neat or over a large cube to let the cocoa open up, or use it anywhere a rum cocktail wants a chocolate edge — it is a natural in an Old Fashioned riff.
