For more than a century, the Pacheco family has been making some of the finest Charanda in Uruapan, Michoacán, Mexico. Charanda is a sugarcane distillate that can only be made in sixteen municipalities in Michoacán. The raw material (piloncillo, or sugarcane molasses) may only come from within the D.O. (Denomination of Origin) which speaks to the very specific volcanic red soil—called charanda in the native language of Purepecha—that can be found in the region. This family operation dates from 1907, when Don Cleophas Murgia Pacheco transitioned from distilling mezcal to the more immediately profitable model of distilling sugarcane. Today Miriam Pacheco carries on the family tradition of making Charanda and runs the business. This is a blended rum, made up of 50% sugar cane juice distilled in a copper still and 50% molasses distilled in a French still; delicately sweet and saline on the nose and the palate, it has flavor notes of lime, basil, honey, and tea.
