Crafted by fourth generation master distiller Marcos Lopez in Veracruz, this release highlights a delicate and highly uncommon crop. Because the Cristalina cane variety is fragile and difficult to grow, very few local farmers still plant it. Lopez, a dedicated farmer who also cultivates coffee and citrus, embraces the challenge to preserve this regional treasure. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \r\nThe production process relies on deep family tradition and attention to detail. After harvesting the rare cane, the fresh sugarcane juice ferments into a rich liquid base. Lopez then distills the batch using a custom five plate copper and stainless steel still. His father built this unique piece of equipment entirely by hand. The still is heated directly by an open flame, a traditional technique that adds remarkable depth and rustic character to the final spirit. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\r\nIn the glass, this unaged rum delivers a highly savory and complex profile that completely separates it from sweet, mass produced commercial brands. The nose opens with distinct, earthy aromas of wet clay, rich truffle oil, and a surprising hint of cola. On the palate, the liquid is incredibly vibrant. It offers deep umami notes driven by bold flavors of sea salt and rich cured ham. A crisp, clean finish of stone fruit skin brings perfect balance to the pour. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\r\nBottled at 49.4 percent alcohol by volume, this craft rum offers a bold, terroir driven experience. Add this exceptional, hard to find release to your bar collection and explore the savory, complex side of premium sugarcane spirits. \u003c\/p\u003e \r\n","brand":"Marcos Lopez for Rums of Mexico","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53409543782764,"sku":"1-104582","price":54.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0469\/6411\/3569\/files\/RumsofMexicoCanaCristalinaRumBottle1080.jpg?v=1780177275","url":"https:\/\/unionsquarewines.shop\/products\/the-rums-of-mexico-caldo-rum-700ml-1","provider":"Union Square Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
