MX Rums Caña Cristalina

This regionally rare cane variety farmed in the district of Cosautlán de Carvajal, Veracruz, was produced by Marcos López. 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 “broth” - the local term for cane juice - with open flame on a 5-plate copper & stainless steel still made by his father.

Tasting Notes: Clay, umami, truffle oil, and cola on the nose. Sea salt and Serrano ham on the palate, with stone fruit skin on the finish.
