Mandarin Natural

Made with cherries exclusively picked and sorted by women from the Palestina village 30 minutes away from La Chiquita who receive a better payment for their work. This lot was fermented in cherry for 110 hours with freshly picked dehydrated mandarin from the neighbouring farms to add this outstanding natural mandarin flavour. The cherries are then dried for 20 days and then rested. Full of sweet citrus and mandarin flavours, this experimental process is our favourite yet!

Barrel Aged

Barrel Aged follows the same process as Mandarin Natural until the point that the moisture hits 11%. After this the fermentation process varies drastically. Once the cherries hit 11% they are then put into old oak barrels previously used for premium Colombian rum storage for 2 months.
This allows the flavour intensity to increase and add elegant hints of liquor.
