Ron Pelacañas Solera Aged Rum

Ron Pelacañas Solera Aged Rum is the inaugural aged release from Hacienda El Carmen: a 95.4-proof (47.7% ABV), 750mL Mexican rum from a four-tier solera, bottled un-watered at batch proof — and it is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.

Pelacañas is made entirely at Hacienda El Carmen in Ahualulco de Mercado, Jalisco, from 100% estate-grown, fresh-pressed sugarcane juice. It is fermented in open-top vats, double-distilled, and matured in American oak ex-whiskey barrels. This Solera Edition Zero is the first aged bottling: 15 liters drawn from each of 45 barrels of the oldest (2022/23 vintage) rum, blended and bottled without added water. The project is led by Mónica Baeza and her daughters, continuing a hacienda founded in 1573.

Why buy the Solera? Because it is a genuine solera-aged, cane-juice Mexican rum at full batch proof — an artisanal alternative to the big solera brands, and Edition Zero is the first and only single-vintage release.

Serving note: neat in a copita to appreciate the solera depth; also excellent in a daiquiri built for flavor.

What is a solera? A fractional-blending system: mature spirit is drawn from the oldest barrels and each tier is replenished by the next-younger tier, building layered complexity.

What is "Edition Zero"? The inaugural solera bottling — a single-vintage (2022/23) release. Future editions will be ongoing solera blends.

Where is it made? Hacienda El Carmen, Ahualulco de Mercado, Jalisco, Mexico.

How is it different from the Blanco? The Blanco (44% ABV) is the unaged core expression; the Solera is the first barrel-aged release, drawn from the oldest solera tiers.
