The Rums of Mexico (700 ml) 'Panela' Rum, Veracruz (95.2 proof)

To make this unique aguardiente, maestro aguardientero Orlando Vásquez mills freshly cut sugar cane, slowly boils it, and then passes the resulting juice into cone-shaped wooden molds where it hardens. The outcome is an unrefined whole cane sugar that is referred to locally as Panela. The cones are re-hydrated and fermented with spring water. Orlando then proceeds to distill that mash in his four-plate, continuous copper still. MXRUMS represents a selection of Mexico's finest makers of both traditional and modern cane spirits — often called aguardientes, catita, chinguirito, or simply rum. With dozens of cane varieties, extensive terroir, and a handful of unique production methods, MXRUMS shares with you just a slice of the beauty to be found amongst The Rums of Mexico. 95.2 proof. 700ml.
