Pelecanas Blanco Rum
Pelecanas Blanco Rum is the core of the Pelecanas range: an 88-proof (44% ABV), 750mL blanco rum distilled from 100% fresh-pressed sugarcane juice under the Volcán de Tequila in Jalisco, Mexico — and it is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.
Like its sibling Llamarada, Pelecanas Blanco is made the agricultural way: estate-grown cane pressed fresh, fermented in wood, and run through a copper pot still. Where Llamarada is still-strength fire, the Blanco is bottled at 44% ABV for maximum flexibility — clean, fresh, and bold enough to lift any cocktail while smooth enough to sip neat.
Tasting notes: intensely fresh cane juice, tropical fruit, citrus zest, and a grassy, almost floral edge; crisp, balanced, and alive on the palate.
Why buy Pelecanas Blanco? Because cane-juice rum at 44% ABV is the secret weapon of great home bars — a daiquiri rum with real character, but affordable and versatile enough for rum and cokes and espresso martinis.
