Produced by second generation master distiller Pedro Bautista, this remarkable spirit captures the rugged beauty of Oaxaca. It stands completely apart from mass produced commercial rums by highlighting authentic regional farming and historic production methods. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e  \r\nThe process begins in the arid village of Zoquiapam Boca de Los Rios. Local farmers carefully cultivate a hearty, yellow cane variety that grows beautifully among columnar cacti. They irrigate the fields using fresh water drawn directly from the nearby river. The team allows the plants to mature for two full years before harvesting to ensure maximum flavor development. Once cut, the stalks are promptly crushed in a small electric mill. The fresh juice then ferments in large closed tanks for over twenty days. This incredibly slow fermentation builds deep, complex aromatic layers. Finally, Bautista processes the liquid through a handmade, wood fired continuous copper still, a technique he has perfected over two decades. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\r\nIn the glass, this spirit reveals a deeply complex aromatic profile. The nose opens with inviting scents of fresh sourdough, ripe apricot, and juicy mango. On the palate, the rum feels vibrant and perfectly structured. It delivers fascinating layers of toasted almond, tart currants, and a playful hint of sweet bubblegum. Bright notes of sour cherry emerge on the long, elegant finish. Bottled at a robust 51.9 percent alcohol by volume, this unaged cane spirit provides a captivating tasting experience. Add this exceptional, hard to find release to your home collection and taste the true heritage of Oaxaca. \u003c\/p\u003e \r\n","brand":"Pedro Bautista for Rums of Mexico","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53452520325484,"sku":"1-104596","price":64.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0469\/6411\/3569\/files\/RumsofMexicoCanaCriollaBottle1080.jpg?v=1780175455","url":"https:\/\/unionsquarewines.shop\/products\/the-rums-of-mexico-cana-criolla-rum-700ml","provider":"Union Square Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
