Distillery Information

For over a century, the Pacheco family has been making some of the finest charanda in Uruapan, Michoacn, Mexico. Charanda is a sugarcane distillate that can only be made in sixteen municipalities in Michoacn. The raw material (piloncillo, or sugarcane molasses) may only come from within the D.O. (Denomination of Origin) which speaks to the very specific volcanic red soilcalled charanda in the native language of Purepechathat can be found in the region. The soil, which is extremely high in minerality and iron, creates the perfect cane-growing conditions when combined with the warm days and cool nights in Michoacn. In 1907, Don Cleofas Murgia Pacheco transitioned from distilling mezcal to the more immediately profitable model of distilling sugarcane. Uruapan Charanda is actually named for the city of Uruapan, due to the Pachecos longstanding history in the community. Miriam Pacheco carries on the family tradition of making Uruapan Charanda and runs the business today. The familys desire to protect and preserve the regions tradition of cane distillation is best exemplified by the efforts of Miriams brother, Fernando Pecheco, who lobbied to create the D.O. protecting charanda in 2013. Uruapan Charanda and the historic brand Sol Tarasconamed after the Pacheco familys distilleryare made from 100% D.O., estate-grown sugarcane that is freshly pressed by a water-powered mill. The Pachecos sugarcane is grown at an elevation of 4,180 feet above sea level in a tropical, diurnal climate surrounded by fields of mango trees, berry bushes, and over five varieties of bananas, all contributing to the unique terroir imparted during fermentation. The cane juice is open-air fermented in wooden vats for eleven days while the molasses sees a 48-hour closed fermentation. The fermented cane juice is then twice distilled in 1,000-liter, wood-fired copper pot stills, and molasses is distilled in a short, French-style column still. All of these factors contribute to the complexity of Uruapan Charanda and Sol Tarasco, which deliver intricate, fragrant, and deeply flavorful cane distillates.
