What is Alambique Serrano Vida Nativa Single Cask 1 Cañamazo Rum?

This rare artisanal rum showcases the terroir of high-altitude Oaxacan sugarcane, fermented with wild yeasts and distilled in small batches using a traditional copper pot still. Interestingly, the rum's aging cave is sheltered by a towering Cañamazo tree, which drops vibrant red sheaths housing onyx-colored seeds each June, infusing the surrounding air with its distinct aroma during the maturation process.

Nose: Sweet notes of tootsie roll and watermelon rock candy mingle with an unexpected hint of wet carpet. There's a subtle undercurrent of oak and spice from the aging process.

Palate: Cherry limeade bursts onto the tongue, followed by the complex flavors of a Manhattan cocktail. The high ABV (59.7%) brings a noticeable alcohol burn, balanced by the sweetness from the sugarcane. Oak influence is present but not overpowering.

Finish: Long and warming. The sweetness fades, leaving behind a dry, slightly tannic sensation. Lingering notes of cherry, lime, and bitters from the Manhattan-like flavor profile. A subtle earthiness reminiscent of the Cañamazo tree's environment rounds out the experience.
