How do you drink Alambique Serrano 3 Años Single Cask #296 New Hungarian Oak Aged Rum?
This complex Oaxacan rum is best savored neat or with a single large ice cube to fully appreciate its intricate spice and pastry notes, though it also shines in spirit-forward cocktails that showcase its unique flavor profile. Its warming qualities make it ideal for cooler evenings, pairing wonderfully with rich desserts or spicy Mexican dishes that complement its bold character.
Nose: Intensely spicy and aromatic. Star anise and nutmeg leap from the glass, followed by warm cardamom and freshly milled oats. A subtle undercurrent of sweet pastry dough lingers in the background.
Palate: Rich and complex. Oaty flavors dominate initially, reminiscent of toasted granola. This gives way to a surprising blend of banana bread sweetness and briny green olives. Notes of smooth beeswax and zesty orange oil add depth and intrigue.
Finish: Long and warming. The spice notes from the nose return, with star anise and cardamom lingering. A pleasant oakiness emerges, accompanied by a subtle sweetness reminiscent of caramelized sugar. The high ABV (55.9%) provides a gentle warmth that doesn't overwhelm the complex flavors.
Alambique Serrano 3 Años Single Cask #296 is crafted from 100% Java varietal cane juice, distilled on a Krassel Column still, and aged for 39 months in a new Hungarian Oak cask, resulting in a unique rum with only 299 bottles produced due to a 9% angel's share during the humid aging process.
