It is a three-barrel blend of pot still rum made with dunder and young muck: two barrels spent two years in ex-bourbon casks followed by 11 months resting in open-top demijohns, while a third barrel, distilled with young muck, spent five months in an American oak ex-rum cask. The name means “a little touch” — a nod to that brief time in oak. 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 102.2 proof (51.1% ABV)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lightly aged high-ester molasses rum, pot still, dunder and muck ferment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pedro Andrés \u0026amp; Jorge Nájera, Satvrnal, Zapopan, Jalisco\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 700mL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Jalisco, Mexico — imported by PM Spirits\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSatvrnal's High-Ester Experiment, Kissed by Oak\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAndrés and Nájera are the experimental wing of the Rums of Mexico project: at Satvrnal, on the outskirts of Guadalajara, they make gin, absinthe and other spirits alongside small batches of rum on a custom hybrid pot and column still. Their earlier Melaza con Muck took its cues from the high-ester rums of the Caribbean; Un Toquecito is its lightly aged successor, keeping the dunder-and-muck character but rounding it with a short rest in oak and glass.
