This stuff isn't rum, it says on the internet. It's aguardiente. A loose translation of 'aguardiente' is fire water. Not rum. But it's distilled from sugar cane, you say. Doesn't that make it rum? No! Maybe it's because it's made in Ecuador and doesn't fit into the neat tri-partite European 'Ron, Rum, Rhum' universe -- it's certainly none of those! It's fire water. Not rum at all.

Whatever it is, it tastes like the best agricole blanc I've ever had. A low bar, admittedly, as I think unaged agricole tastes like a science experiment gone wrong and can only be used in very small quantities, but this stuff has a lot of the same funkiness at a manageable level. I wouldn't necessarily use it alone in a cocktail, but in a split base daiquiri it shines. It's found a home in my rum collection, despite it not being rum.

This doesn’t taste like rum or even agricole to me. Supremely earthy and only usable in a well mixed painkiller.
