For generations Vásquez’s family milled fresh cane, boiled the juice and poured it into wooden cone molds to harden into panela; here those cones are rehydrated with spring water, fermented and distilled on his four-plate copper column still. It is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProof \/ ABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 95.2 proof (47.6% ABV)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 700mL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBase:\u003c\/strong\u003e Panela (piloncillo) cones rehydrated with spring water\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Orlando Vásquez, Veracruz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStill:\u003c\/strong\u003e Four-plate copper column\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Veracruz, Mexico\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eA Family Sugar Trade, Distilled\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Rums of Mexico bottles the traditional cane spirits of Mexico that locals call aguardiente, cañita or simply ron, naming the farmer, the village, the cane and the still on every release. Panela is Vásquez’s tribute to his family trade: the same boiled cane juice his family has set into cones for generations, taken one step further into the still. Poured beside his fresh-juice Caldo, it is a study in how the base material steers the spirit.
