The Rums of Mexico - Caldo Rum 700ml

Galdo Sugarcane Juice Rum presents a fascinating take on traditional Mexican cane spirits. Crafted in Veracruz by first generation distiller Orlando Vasquez, this unique rum honors a deep family history of sugar farming. For generations, the Vasquez family focused entirely on making traditional unrefined sugar. Over a decade ago, Orlando decided to apply this rich agricultural knowledge to the art of distillation, spending years perfecting his craft.

The production process begins with the fresh juice of two specific sugarcane varieties. Chosen for their naturally high sugar content and rapid growth, these plants deliver an incredibly rich foundation for the spirit. The team ferments the fresh pressed juice before processing it through a classic four plate continuous copper still. This traditional equipment is carefully heated by a direct wood fire, which helps build a robust and rustic depth into the final liquid.

In the glass, this rum offers a highly unconventional and deeply intriguing aromatic profile. The nose opens with earthy scents of rich truffle and distinct charcoal smoke, followed by fascinating, savory hints of vinegar. On the palate, the spirit transforms dramatically. It delivers vibrant flavors of bright mandarin orange layered beautifully with roasted cherries and a rich, dark berry jam.

Bottled at a powerful 52.3 percent alcohol by volume, this unaged rum provides a complex and intense tasting experience. It stands completely apart from sweet, mass produced commercial options on the market. Add this rare and highly expressive cane spirit to your bar collection. It is the perfect choice for adventurous connoisseurs looking to explore the bold, savory side of modern rum.
