Tasting Notes

How It's Made

Fun Facts

Product Details

Nose: Vibrant herbal aromas of fresh cilantro and lemongrass mingle with warm cinnamon and zesty bitter orange. A subtle undercurrent of citronella adds brightness and complexity.

Palate: Smooth and silky texture coats the tongue. Rich maple syrup sweetness balances sharp clove spice. Citrus blossom honey provides a delicate floral note that complements the bitter orange flavors carried over from the nose.

Finish: Long and warming. The bitter orange and honey notes linger, slowly fading to reveal subtle oak tannins from the bourbon barrel. A gentle spice tingle remains, reminiscent of cinnamon and clove.

Alambique Serrano 3 Años Single Cask #268 is crafted from 100% Java sugarcane juice, distilled on a Krassel Column still, and aged for 42 months in an ex-bourbon barrel, resulting in a limited yield of 264 bottles at a robust 55.3% ABV - a testament to the meticulous production process and the unique terroir of Santa Maria Tlalixtac, Oaxaca.

This rum's unique flavor profile comes from an unexpected source - the Java sugarcane varietal. Unlike most rums made from common sugarcane types, Alambique Serrano uses this rare variety, known for its intense aromatics and complex sweetness.

The distillery employs a "humid aging room" technique, which is uncommon in rum production. This method accelerates the aging process and intensifies flavor development, resulting in a 3-year-old rum that tastes far more mature than its age suggests.

Despite being aged for only 42 months, this rum lost a surprising 8% to the "angel's share" (evaporation during aging). This high rate of evaporation, typically seen in much older spirits, contributed to the rum's concentrated flavors and higher-than-average 55.3% ABV.

Main Ingredient: Sugarcane
Country of Origin: Mexico
