 In 2003, the granting of a Denominacion de Origen (D.O.) made Charanda the first and only Mexican spirit derived from sugar cane to receive this recognition and protection. Charanda, Mexico’s rum is a Mexican spirit created via double distillation of sugar cane and can be matured in barrels, making the process very similar to rum production. Despite its rather overlooked status, Mexico has a rich history of producing sugar-cane-based rum dating back to the early 16th century, when the Spanish introduced cultivation of this 
tropical plant. The specifications state that D.O. Charanda must be produced in one of 16 municipalities among the 113 that make up the state of Michoacán in western central Mexico.
