Uruapan Charanda Blanco

Smell is like rum meets mezcal. Tastes like Smokey salty tequila and cachaça blended.

Has a nose of Haitian/Agricole. Taste is grassy, molasses. Peppery but also very sweet on the aftertaste. Low punch.

I received this as a gift at a rum tasting party.

The bottle has an interesting blue color, though the rum is clear. It primarily tastes like an agricole with some cachaca flavor as well. Smells and tastes of brine, sugar cane, pepper, and cachaca.

It's not bad at all, though agricole generally isn't my favorite style.

This one's a slashy, part rhum agricole and part demerara in flavors. And then there's that mezcal bark upfront. Honestly, it tastes like an identity crisis, but it is truly interesting and a solid introduction to charanda-style cane spirits. It has a lil sumthin for everyone into rum, but it will not floor you like Paranubes will. It's a little sweet, kinda reminding me of pulque, which seems natural given the agricultural proclivities of the region...

Like, not love, and will probably mix with it from now on. Cool bottle tho!

This one is a mixture of cachaca distilled from cane juice and column still rum from molasses. It is truly unique and many mixologists claim that the sky is the limit for making craft cocktails with this one. Since it can be sipped neat, I would rate it as an artisan cachaca. Pepper on the tongue is rather high with a very faint hint of molasses on the finish. It is crystal clear. The nose is just like an artisan cachaca. The taste and finish is where it differentiates itself from it's Brazilian neighbors. So glad that I finally got to try it and worth the trouble of trying to find it. I am sure that it would make an awesome caipirinha.

And take it easy with this one! It is one liter at 92 proof. It will knock you onto your tail!

Very strong alcoholic flavour,. Your will be burning a while after sipping on this one. Not a fan.

If I wanted Tequila I would buy a bottle. Nose is a lot funky and as a sipper I thought it was pretty nasty with a bite that did not want to go away. Did not find a mixer that added anything to it and not see it blended. I do not like tequila and this tastes like a sweet tequila without the worm.

I have read the other reviews but just do not see it as good for anything in my bar.
