Uruapan Charanda Blanco

A must-have for mixing budget-friendly drinks! The only drawback, when compared to other rhum from the agricole family, is that the distinct half pot-distilled character is muted by the column-distilled component, resulting in a less satisfying conclusion. This gets 4 stars from me because its vibrant grassy/banana notes elevate it beyond the taste of other white rums in its price range, boasting a powerful aroma and intricate taste. It's not for drinking straight, but it's fantastic in mixed drinks! A great way to get pals acquainted with ester-rich spirits.

Funky and dry, it reminds me more of a Rhum Agricole than a typical molasses-based rum. Grassy notes are prominent, along with some lingering sweetness from the molasses. I'm uncertain if I would drink this neat, but it works wonderfully in daiquiris or other mixed drinks when you desire more complexity than a standard white rum.

Hear me out. It reminds me of Arrack. Imagine if mezcal and rhum agricole had a child. The aroma is strongly of hogo and olive brine. The palate shifts quickly to banana and grassy, sweet flavors, with a Haitian character. Your first taste neat is confusing, but its uniqueness will draw you back.

Very cool. The aroma is somewhat like a rum and tequila blend, with significant cakey sweetness and fresh juiciness. It also has subtle hints of tropical over-ripeness that resemble hogo.

The nose has an olive brine aroma with a significant amount of funk. It's very earthy; the palate initially brings to mind Paranubes, but the finish is much more similar to a standard Agricole.

It had an earthy quality similar to tequila. Like a white rum with character.
