  • Single varietal, agricole-style sugarcane spirit produced by the historic Pacheco family at Sol Tarasco in Uruapan, Michoacán
  • Protected Denomination of Origin (PDO) Charanda
  • Distilled from single estate Caña Criolla sugarcane cultivated over 4,000 feet above sea level
  • Milled using a 100-year-old water-powered mill
  • Open-air fermented in wooden tanks, using only ambient yeast, for one to two weeks (varying by season)
  • Distilled twice using 1,000-liter copper pot stills fired with biomass
  • Fresh and bright on the nose with subtle herbs, citrus zest, and quiet minerality; the palate opens into Bosc pear, green apple, lime, and distinct notes of cut hay and fresh soil; a lingering sense of peppercorn and papaya carry a long finish.
  • 49% 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.
