Discover the Perfect Pairings at Acquistapace’s

We believe in offering our guests a journey of flavor. We’re taking you from the sugarcane fields of India to the kitchens of our own Chef Michael. Camikara Indian Rum, crafted from 100% cane sugar and aged to perfection, delivers a taste experience that stands apart in the world of premium rums. With both a 3-year and 8-year aged variety available, it provides depth and elegance for the refined palate.

Balancing out the richness of the rum is our soul-warming house-made bread pudding. Chef Michael’s creation brings together classic Southern comfort with a gourmet twist, showcasing our dedication to fresh, handmade, and indulgent desserts.

For those seeking refreshment without the buzz, our handpicked selection of non-alcoholic beers – including Sierra Nevada Trail Pass, Athletic Brewing, and Michelob Ultra Zero – offer a variety of styles and flavors, so you can sip all day long without skipping a beat.

A Taste of India: Camikara Indian Rum 3-Year & 8-Year

Camikara Indian Rum represents a revival of India’s rich sugarcane heritage, distilled from 100% pure cane juice rather than molasses. This approach preserves the authentic flavor of the land and elevates Camikara to a league of its own among world-class rums. The 3-year aged expression is light and vibrant, with golden hues and an aromatic bouquet of vanilla, honey, and subtle spice. Its crisp profile makes it perfect for refined cocktails or for sipping neat with a citrus twist.

For those seeking a deeper, more indulgent experience, the 8-year aged Camikara delivers in every sip. This matured spirit boasts a luscious amber tone and layered aromas of butterscotch, toasted oak, and dried figs. It opens with warm caramel and nutty undertones that gently unfold into a smooth, velvety finish. A testament to India’s artisanal rum-making legacy, Camikara 8-Year is meant to be savored slowly, offering a rich narrative in every glass.
