The stills at the mezcal Tosba distillery, where Dakabend is crsuhed, fermented, and distilled.
Dakabend, distilled from fresh cane juice, is distilled using artisanal methods. Distiller Edgar Gonzales-Ramirez carries out unusually long distillations, up to 12 hours. He has to be there because otherwise the workers heat up the fire so they can go home.
Edgar crushing fresh-cut sugar cane
Artisanal rum is made from the juce you get when you crush fresh sugar cane. Commercials rums are made from by-products of manufacturing sugar, such as molasses.
High Mountain Cane
Like other raw material for distillation (grapes, agaves), when the plant has to work harder than down oin the rich-soiled flatlands, it develops more flavor and more complexity
Fresh cane juice coming from the crusher
Its one of the tastiest and refreshing drinks there are. Here it’s falling into a fermentation vat; later, some of the crushed stalks are added to the vat, yielding a richer and more complex distilation material
Dakabend put a very small amount of rum away for aging.
They have only one barrel’s worth for sale. The two left are going to be used to create a solera. Crfat Distillers got 288 bottles, and we have 48 of them, about as scarce as rum gets.

Dakabend Rum Añejo
High in the rugged Sierra Norte of northern Oaxaca state, near the tiny pueblo of San Cristóbal Lachiroag, brothers Edgar and Elisandro Gonzales, the maestros behind Mezcal Tosba, have created a beautiful rhum agricole from local high-mountain sugar cane, using traditional hand methods developed for mezcal.
Gonzales figured out on his own that taking 12 hours distilling the rum slowly was vastly better than the quick 6-8 hour runs common in Mexico – and the USA. He has to be there at the end of the runs because the guys running the still want to hurry up so they can go home. This rum is simply an extremely carefully produced spirit: they sometimes take the small crusher out to the field so they can get the juice as fresh as possible. You don’t know what unaged rum can be until you taste Dakabend.
