The Rums of Mexico - Caña Cristalina - Marcos Lopez

49.4% ABV

This regionally rare cane variety was farmed in the district of Cosautlán de Carvajal, Veracruz. Considered to be a delicate species that is susceptible to plagues, few farmers still opt to cultivate this uncommon varietal.
Marcos distilled this batch from fermented Cristalina “caldo” meaning broth - the local term for cane juice -
with open flame on a 5-plate copper and stainless steel still made by his father.

TASTING NOTES - From The Rums of Mexico
The nose is salty and savory with tapenade, cucumber, watermelon, capers, and lime. The palate brings nectarine skin, golden apples, honey, oat bran, and wet rocks.
