Tafia

Tafia (also called guildive) is a drink similar to rum made from sugarcane juice.[1] It is typically unaged whereas rum is typically aged in wooden barrels to reduce the level of fusel. Most of the fusel is absorbed in the first two years. Premium rums are aged for a longer period, incidentally increasing the evaporation of ethanol.
