The Rums of Mexico (700 ml) Cana Cristalina Rum, Veracruz (98.8 proof)

This regionally rare cane variety, cristalina , farmed in the district of Cosautlán de Carvajal, Veracruz, was produced by Marcos López. Cristaline sugar cane is considered to be a delicate species that is susceptible to plagues and 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.
