The nose is very reminiscent of Agricole with vegetal notes in charge throughout as sweeter elements lurk underneath alongside vanilla bean, and dried plantain. On the palate, sweetness quickly overtakes the vegetal notes from the nose with rich waves of vanilla cream, caramelized plantain, butterscotch, and Ceylon tea leaves. The finish is pleasant and refreshing with sweeter elements slowly giving way to spice. A fun spirit to mix with or sip neat.

Description
Zhumir was originally founded by Don Eduardo Crespo Malo. The term “Zhumir” was coined in 1870 by Francesco Cabeza de Vaca[1] to describe spirits, and the distillery has roots in Cuenca, where it was founded in 1966 by Doña Hortensia Mata Ordóñez as “Destilería La Playa.” The name was changed in 1982 to “Destilería Zhumir C. Ltda” in order to more closely identify the company with its most popular product. When Zhumir began, it was a cottage industry, bottling and selling spirits made in the traditional artesanal manner, however the product quickly became so popular that the company installed an industrial distillery to keep up with demand. Much of the sugarcane used to produce Zhumir is grown in company owned fields in the valley of Paute in the province of Azuay, and the corporation has its headquarters in the Azuay capital, Cuenca.
