Description
Paranubes Rum is an artisanal aguardiente de caña produced in the rugged Sierra Mazateca of northern Oaxaca. Hidden deep in mountain valleys, the organically grown cane fields date back hundreds of years to not long after cane arrived in Mexico.
Maestro Jose Luis Carrera is a third-generation producer, whose grandfather founded his community of Rio Tuerto, home of Paranubes. He has created a truly unique rum, with a rich body and notes of overripe fruit, and savory accents of nightshade and sea air.
