Alambique Serrano Single Cask #20 Rum

Single Cask #20 is one barrel of Alambique Serrano aged in French oak and bottled at full strength — the highest-proof single cask in the series at 64.4% ABV. The Krassel family has distilled sugarcane spirit on the steep hillsides of Santa María Tlalixtac in Oaxaca's Cañada region for three generations, since German immigrant Max Krassel started with a handmade still on a coffee farm in the 1930s; his sons hauled aguardiente to remote villages by mule, Max Jr. delivered it by plane, and today grandsons Rommel, Axel, and William run the stills. Everything begins with organic Java-varietal cane grown between 2,500 and 3,800 feet, hand-harvested and pressed in mobile mills carried by mule, fermented with wild yeast in pine and steel vats, then distilled on custom-built column and copper pot stills. French oak gives this cask a different signature from the ex-bourbon single casks: tighter grain, more tannin, more spice. Expect fresh cane and orange peel on the nose with cinnamon, clove, and toasted wood, opening into a dense, oily palate of dried fruit, honey, black pepper, cocoa, and dry oak, with the grassy, savory edge of high-altitude Oaxacan cane underneath and a long, heated finish that a few drops of water turn silky. No additives, sugar, or coloring. The single casks are unaveraged snapshots of one barrel and one wood; this one is for drinkers who want the range at full volume. Limited to a single barrel's yield.
