What is Alambique Serrano Cartier 30 Single Origin Oaxacan Rum?

Alambique Serrano Cartier 30 is a uniquely potent, unaged rum distilled from organic java sugarcane grown at 4,000 feet above sea level in Oaxaca, Mexico, using a custom-built still that produces no heads or tails.

Nose: Intense aromas of fresh-cut sugarcane dominate, followed by grassy notes and a hint of sea breeze. Bright citrus peel and green banana add complexity, while a subtle earthiness reminds of the high-altitude terroir.

Palate: Powerful and warming, with the high proof immediately apparent. Raw sugarcane juice flavors burst forth, accompanied by sharp citrus and a touch of brine. Grassy, vegetal notes emerge, along with a slight peppery spice. The unaged character shines through with its pure, unadulterated expression of the base material.

Finish: Long and intense, with lingering warmth from the high alcohol content. The sugarcane sweetness fades to reveal more complex flavors of green herbs, mineral notes, and a subtle smokiness. A slight funk reminiscent of agricole rhum persists, leaving a memorable impression long after the sip.
