Alambique Serrano “Altos Esteres” Pot Still Rum is a remarkable and intensely aromatic unaged spirit, representing a pure, powerful expression of 100% organic Java sugarcane from the steep mountain slopes of Santa Maria Tlalixtac, Oaxaca. Crafted by the third-generation Krassel family, this rum is a testament to their dedication to traditional methods and the unique high-altitude terroir of their estate, situated up to 4,000 feet above sea level.
The name “Altos Esteres” (High Esters) alludes to the incredible aromatic complexity achieved through a meticulous and patient production process. The journey begins with fresh-pressed sugarcane juice, which undergoes a uniquely long, 25-day natural fermentation with ambient yeast in open-top pine vats. This spirit is then double-distilled in traditional copper pot stills and bottled at its natural cask strength of 63.8% ABV, with absolutely no water or sugar added.
This unadulterated process yields a spirit with a truly captivating and singular profile. The nose is a unique bouquet of savory capers, sea breeze, fresh tomatillo, and pickled olives. The palate is powerful and round, delivering the bright taste of fresh-pressed cane juice, a whiff of cool eucalyptus, and evolving secondary notes of grilled pineapple, green olives, and white grape. This is a bold, funky, and complex rum for the adventurous connoisseur, perfect for sipping or for adding an intense sugarcane presence to cocktails.
