Alambique Serrano 3 Años Single Cask #144 New French Oak Aged Rum

This luxurious, high-proof rum is best savored neat or with a single large ice cube to appreciate its complex flavors, though it can also shine in spirit-forward cocktails that showcase its rich character. Its robust profile makes it an excellent choice for cool autumn evenings, paired with dark chocolate desserts or spiced holiday treats.

Nose: Rich aromas of raspberry cheesecake, molasses, and wheat bran greet the senses. Damp oak and a hint of dry earth add depth and complexity. The high alcohol content is noticeable but not overpowering.

Palate: Graham cracker and fresh vanilla lead, followed by tobacco and spiced berry crème brûlée. The 66.5% ABV provides a robust mouthfeel with a pleasant warmth. Notes of caramelized sugar and toasted wood complement the fruit and spice flavors.

Finish: Long and warming with lingering notes of oak, baking spices, and dried fruit. The sweetness fades, giving way to a subtle dryness reminiscent of fine leather. A touch of black pepper and cinnamon spice remains, inviting another sip.

Alambique Serrano 3 Años Single Cask #144 is crafted from 100% Java sugarcane juice, fermented with ambient yeast in pine tanks, then distilled on a pot still before aging for 36 months in new French Oak, resulting in a limited yield of just 286 bottles at a robust 66.5% ABV.

• This rum's heavenly aroma of raspberry cheesecake isn't from added flavors – it's a natural result of aging in new French oak, showcasing how wood choice can create unexpected flavor profiles in spirits.
• With only 286 bottles produced from this single cask, each bottle represents about 1.5 minutes of the entire three-year aging process, making it a truly rare snapshot of time in liquid form.
• Despite being aged in the dry climate of Oaxaca, this rum still lost 13% to the "angel's share" – that's over 40 bottles worth of rum that evaporated during aging, concentrating the flavors in what remains.
