Zhumir
High Altitude Sugarcane Spirit

Category: Aguardiente

Date Tasted:
Country: Ecuador
Alcohol: 35%
Clear color. Grassy aromas and flavors of egg whites and meringue, plantain and banana leaf, and caraway with a silky, bright, dry-yet-fruity medium-to-full body and a warming, stimulating, long finish with shades of coconut milk and custard, sugar cane, and pepper and rubber. A delicious, savory, and round aguardiente that is very reminiscent of agricole rhum and will be great in classic rum cocktails.

Aguardiente is a generic term for a distilled sprit that contains between 29% to 60% alcohol. It is a term most often used in Spanish speaking countries; the word comes from the Spanish words aqua (water) and ardiente (fiery).

Some countries do use the term for a local distilled product, as is the case in Ecuador, where it is a beverage distilled from sugarcane or in Chile, where it is a product similar to grappa, as the skins and pulp of grapes are distilled.

Aguardiente is the national beverage of Colombia, where it is served in small shot glasses after dinner or sometimes used as the base for an aguardiente sour, which is mixed with orange and lime juice.
