Uruapan Charanda’s flagship expression strikes a lovely balance between the terroir-specific character of the Pacheco’s estate-grown sugarcane and an aromatic funk reminiscent of a faintly smoky Jamaican rum. The unique split between cane juice and molasses makes this an extremely versatile cocktail ingredient with range and flexibility.

  • Single estate sugarcane spirit produced by the historic Pacheco family in Uruapan, Michoacán
  • Blend of 50% fresh pressed sugarcane and 50% molasses
  • D.O., single estate molasses & fresh sugarcane cultivated over 4,000 feet above sea level; pressed using a water-powered mill
  • Fresh sugarcane open-air fermented 11 days; molasses close-fermented for 48 hours
  • Cane juice distilled twice in 1,000-liter, wood-fired, copper pot stills
  • Molasses distilled using a short, French-style column still
  • Full of mango and banana with an earthy, mineralic depth to balance the bright fruit; a whisp of smoke on the finish
  • 46% ABV 

Uruapan and the historic brand Sol Tarasco—named after the Pacheco family’s distillery—are made from 100% D.O., estate-grown sugarcane that is freshly pressed by a water-powered mill. The Pacheco’s sugarcane is grown at an elevation of 4,180 feet above sea level in a tropical, diurnal climate surrounded by fields of mango trees, berry bushes, and over five varieties of bananas, all contributing to the unique terroir imparted during fermentation. The cane juice is open-air fermented in wooden vats for eleven days while the molasses sees a 48-hour closed fermentation. The fermented cane juice is then twice distilled in 1,000-liter, wood-fired copper pot stills, and molasses is distilled in a short, French-style column still. All of these factors contribute to the complexity of Uruapan and Sol Tarasco, which deliver intricate, fragrant, and deeply flavorful cane distillates.
