Camazotz Oaxacan

Made by Maestro Leoncio Gaspar at the family distillery in the Sierra Mixe, approximately 5 hours North East from the capital and locally known as Agardiente de Caña, the juice of the sugar cane, grown by the family in the surrounding hills, without pesticides, is raw pressed b hand, then fermented in open barrels using only wild airborne yeasts. Double distilled to proof in small batches of up to 300 ltrs using a traditional alembic copper pot still, the liquid is transported by mules 5 km up the mountainside ready for collection. Bottled at 48 abv, un-aged with no additional ingredients, the resulting rum is expressive from the first sip.
