How It's Made

Fun Facts

Product Details

Nose: Intense aromas of overripe banana, pineapple, and mango burst from the glass. Underlying notes of fresh-cut grass, vanilla bean, and a hint of petrol add complexity. The high alcohol content is apparent but not overwhelming.

Palate: Rich and full-bodied with a powerful entry. Flavors of tropical fruit cocktail, caramelized sugar, and toasted coconut dominate. Secondary notes of cinnamon, clove, and black pepper provide balance. The high proof delivers a noticeable alcohol burn.

Finish: Long and warming with lingering flavors of ripe banana, pineapple rind, and baking spices. A subtle grassy note emerges alongside hints of rubber and diesel fuel, characteristic of high-ester rums. The finish tapers off with a pleasant sweetness and mild astringency.

Alambique Serrano Altos Esteres is crafted from 100% organic java sugarcane juice, naturally fermented for 25 days in pine tanks using ambient yeast, then distilled in copper pot stills to a remarkably high 63.8% ABV, capturing the intense esters and flavors of the high-altitude Oaxacan terroir.

Alambique Serrano Altos Esteres is made from sugarcane grown at altitudes up to 4,000 feet above sea level in Oaxaca, Mexico - higher than many vineyards producing fine wines.

The rum undergoes an extraordinarily long 25-day fermentation using wild, ambient yeasts - about 5 times longer than typical rum fermentations. This extended process contributes to its unique high-ester flavor profile.

Despite being an unaged rum, Altos Esteres is bottled at a potent 63.8% ABV without any added water, making it one of the strongest naturally fermented rums available on the market.
