Copalli - Organic White Rum - 42%
The Copalli distillery is located in the heart of the tropical forest of Belize, within an untouched environment that shapes the unique personality of its rums. Founded on a sustainable philosophy and certified organic, Copalli relies on a virtuous supply chain where every step respects the local ecosystem. The sugarcane, grown without pesticides, is hand-harvested and then pressed directly on site to preserve the freshness of the juice. Distillation is carried out in a column still and a pot still, reflecting expertise that combines tradition and precision to obtain a rum of great purity. The brand is also distinguished by its environmental commitment, notably through the use of renewable energies and the recycling of cane residues. This organic white rum Copalli 42% thus embodies the vision of a modern, authentic spirit deeply rooted in its tropical terroir.
Copalli Organic White Rum 42% is made exclusively from pure cane juice, slowly distilled to preserve all the aromatic richness of the plant. The short but controlled fermentation allows the development of a clear and aromatic profile, without heaviness or excess. The combined use of the pot still and the column offers a subtle balance between roundness and precision, producing a lively, crystalline, and perfectly readable rum. No additives or sweetening are used, in accordance with the estate’s transparency approach, which aims to highlight the most natural expression possible of the cane. The gradual reduction to 42% results in a harmonious spirit, more accessible than higher-proof versions, while retaining its aromatic intensity. This approach makes Copalli White a rum equally suited to cocktails as to neat tasting, revealing the finesse of its organic origin.
On tasting, Copalli Organic White Rum 42% appears clear and bright, with an immediate and vibrant nose marked by fresh cane, chlorophyll, citrus, and a subtle floral note. On the palate, the attack is soft but precise, carried by a vegetal freshness that gives way to nuances of lime, white pepper, cane sugar, and a slight salinity recalling the maritime influences of Belize. The texture, supple yet lively, highlights the purity of the rum and its naturally dry character. The finish is long, clean, slightly spicy, with a return to crunchy cane and an impression of great digestibility. This white rum pairs ideally with cocktails such as the daiquiri, ti punch, or tropical creations, and can accompany fish ceviche, exotic fruits, or iodized dishes where its freshness plays a harmonious role.
