Uruapan Charanda Single Estate Blended Anejo Rum
Uruapan Charanda Single Estate Blended Anejo Rum is a 92-proof (46% ABV) aged Mexican cane spirit in a 1L bottle — the añejo counterpart to Uruapan's flagship blanco: the same 50% cane-juice / 50% molasses blend, aged 22 months in ex-bourbon barrels. The bright tropical fruit of the house style gets wrapped in a warming, confectionary embrace of clove and toasted coconut, with a wisp of smoke and banana esters on the finish. It is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.

Charanda, With Wood
The blanco shows what Michoacán cane tastes like raw; the añejo shows what 22 months of ex-bourbon wood does to it. The cane-juice half keeps the tropical brightness, the molasses half gives the wood something to work with, and the result is a balance of terroir-specific character and dry, confectionary barrel influence — a rum the importer describes as sitting between the estate's cane and a dry, whiskey-like warmth.

How to Enjoy
Sip it neat to catch the confectionary wood over the cane funk — the 92 proof is built for it. In cocktails, it substitutes beautifully for an aged Barbados rum in Old Fashioneds and rum Manhattans, bringing its own Mexican accent.
