This rum is made from 100% fresh pressed sugarcane juice, estate grown in the shadow of Volcán de Tequila in Jalisco. With wood fermentation, copper pot distillation, and passionate hands, Pelacañas is intensely fresh, bold, and balanced. It is bound to intrigue.
This core expression is bottled at 44% ABV for wonderful flexibility in cocktails. We often enjoy it in a classic daiquiri, a rum and coke, or even an espresso martini. Of course, we love sipping it neat as well.
