The terroir of the state of Michoacan in Mexico has allowed over the past centuries, the cultivation of a particular variety of sugarcane, whose fermentation and (double) distillation lead to the making of a typical local distillate: the Charanda. The label of Uruapan Pure Single Agricola is a tribute to the great-grandfather of the Pacheco family, Don Cleofas Murguia, who bequeathed to his family the tradition of making this beautiful sugarcane spirit called Charanda. This unique label is based on a bottle from the family archives dating back to 1928. This Uruapan is a pure Agricola sugarcane alcohol. The cane comes from the Pacheco family's fields located at 4180m above sea level. The fermentation is done in open wooden vats and the alcohol is distilled twice in a copper still. Uruapan Pure Single Agricola is ideal for making a Daiquiri.

Casa Tarasco Distillery

Casa Tarasco, Uruapan Charanda, a family tradition since 1907. The Pacheco family has been producing Charanda in the city of Uruapan in the state of Michoacán, Mexico for more than 113 years. The ‘Uruapan’ brand takes its name from the hometown of the Pacheco family, which has a long history in the region. However, the family’s involvement with distillation goes back even further. In 1908, Don Cleofas Murgia decided to switch from mezcal production to distilling sugar cane, as mezcal was not particularly popular and sugar cane distillates offered more profitable, visible activities. Miriam Pacheco now runs the family company, continuing the tradition of Charanda production. The Pachecos’ desire to protect and preserve the local tradition of sugar cane distillation was highlighted in 2003, when the family secured the creation of a D.O. (an appellation of origin) protecting all Charanda producers.
