Pelecanas Llamarada Rum

Pelecanas Llamarada Rum is a fire burst in a bottle — a still-strength (54% ABV / 108 proof), 750mL cane-juice rum from the shadow of the Volcán de Tequila in Jalisco, Mexico — and it is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.

Pelecanas makes rum the agricultural way: 100% fresh-pressed sugarcane juice from estate-grown cane, wood fermentation, and copper pot distillation. "Llamarada" is both the name of a beautiful flower that grows at the hacienda and the Spanish word for fire burst or inferno — fitting for this still-strength expression, which keeps the rum at the strength it came off the still for maximum intensity of flavor.

Tasting notes: intensely fresh and forward — tropical fruit, raw sugarcane, grassy cane juice, and citrus oils; bold and balanced, with surprising sipping drinkability despite the proof.

Why buy Llamarada? Because still-strength cane-juice rum is rum at its most alive — and at 54% ABV, this is a rhum-agricole-style Mexican rum that brings serious tropical fruit and cane presence to both sipping and cocktails.

Serving note: savor neat to taste it at full strength; in cocktails, its high proof and bold cane character carry through daiquiris and Ti' Punches beautifully.
