DAKABEND - OAXACAN RUM

Dakabend is crafted high in the Sierra Norte of Oaxaca by brothers Edgar and Elisandro Gonzales in the remote pueblo of San Cristóbal Lachirioag. Made from fresh high-mountain sugarcane and distilled on a mezcal copper pot still, it reflects the purity of its land and the heritage of mezcal artisanship.
