Uruapan Charanda Blanco Caña Cristalina

Review by: The Auditor

Review #1449; Rum #749

Here we have a bottle of rum from Mexican producer Uruapan. This rum was distilled from single estate Caña Mexicana sugarcane, fermented in the open with wild yeast for one to two week, and bottled with no additives.

Distillery: Sol Tarasco

Bottler: Uruapan

Region: Mexico

Still: Pot

ABV: 49%

Nose: Earthy, Lemon, Brine, Bell Pepper

Palate: Medium mouthfeel, Earthly, Lemon, Damp Basement, Brine

Finish: Short Finish, Earthy, Lemon, Damp Basement, Brine

Yeah this one misses the mark for me. Too much of that damp basement overpowers anything nice going on here for me.

Final Score: 72

Scoring Legend:

  • 95-100: As good as it gets. Jaw-dropping, eye-widening, unforgettable whisky.
  • 90-94: Sublime, a personal favorite in its category.
  • 85-89: Excellent, a standout dram.
  • 80-84: Quite good. Quality stuff.
  • 75-79: Decent whisky worth tasting.
  • 70-74: Meh. It’s definitely drinkable, but it can do better.
  • 60-69: Not so good. I might not turn down a glass if I needed a drink.
  • 50-59: Save it for mixing.

I have drank my fair amount of single malt but got started writing reviews about Single Malt and Bourbon in 2018. Over 1000 total reviews later and I focus mainly on Sugar Cane Spirits now. However, single malt is a still a spirits category I enjoy greatly as is Agave and Brandy. I wouldn’t go as far as to call myself an expert but I am the resident Rum obsessed writer for Malt Runners.
