Product Details

Nose: Bright aromas of ripe lychee and fresh white pear skin greet the senses, complemented by subtle hints of crisp watermelon rind. There's a delicate sweetness reminiscent of brown sugar, balanced by a light woody spice from the oak aging.

Palate: The initial sip reveals a pleasant oiliness that coats the tongue. Light notes of cinnamon butter meld with dried apricot flavors. A nostalgic taste of cinnamon toast cereal emerges, offering a comforting warmth. The high proof is evident but not overwhelming, carrying the complex flavors across the palate.

Finish: Long and warming, with lingering notes of toasted oak and baking spices. The fruity elements slowly fade, leaving a subtle sweetness reminiscent of caramelized sugar. A hint of tannin from the wine cask finish adds a pleasant dryness, inviting another sip.

Alambique Serrano Vida Nativa Blend 1 Pico Canoa Rum is crafted using a unique combination of distillation methods, including a traditional copper alembic pot still and the custom-built Krassel Still. What sets this rum apart is its complex aging process, with different components spending 25-28 months in new French oak before finishing in red wine casks, resulting in a harmonious blend bottled at cask strength without any additives.

The Krassel brothers use a homemade still of their own design alongside traditional copper pot stills to create this unique rum, blending innovation with tradition in every bottle.

This rum is named after the Big-billed Pico Canoa Toucan, whose distinctive yelping calls can be heard echoing along the Río Blanco as they forage for wild fruits in the late afternoon.
