Alambique Serrano Altos Ésteres Rum

This Oaxacan rum stands apart through its certified organic, additive-free character and use of Java sugarcane. It comes from Santa María Tlalixtac and is bottled at 127.6 proof (63.8% ABV), giving it a notably high-strength profile. The 750 mL size offers enough flexibility for measured pours, mixed drinks, or slow tasting over several occasions.

The flavor moves comfortably between savory and fruity territory. Tomato and oregano give the opening an herbal, garden-like quality, while black pepper adds a sharper edge. Pineapple and brine bring a tropical note with a saline counterpoint. Its strength will remain prominent when served neat, while careful dilution can soften the intensity without requiring a complicated preparation. This is a direct, distinctive Mexican rum with an unusual balance of produce, spice, fruit, and salt.
