Alambique Serrano “Cartier 30” is a remarkable and potent unaged spirit, offering a pure and powerful expression of 100% organic java sugarcane from the steep mountain slopes of Santa Maria Tlalixtac, Oaxaca. This is a true traditional aguardiente, crafted by the third-generation Krassel family, who continue a distilling legacy started by their grandfather, Max Krassel, in the 1930s after he immigrated to Mexico from Germany.
This exceptional spirit is a testament to time-honored and truly unique production methods. Made entirely from fresh cane juice grown at altitudes of up to 4,000 feet, it undergoes a natural fermentation before being distilled twice in a custom-built still of the family's own design. In a singular and highly unusual process, no "heads" or "tails" are cut from the distillation run, meaning only the purest heart of the distillate is captured. It is then bottled at its natural still proof of 70.3% ABV, with no water or sugar added. The name “Cartier 30” itself is a nod to a historic strength measurement, long the preference of the local village.
The result is a spirit with an incredibly bold and expressive character, designed for the true enthusiast. Expect a punchy, funky, grassy, and briney profile that is unadulterated and packed with flavor. This is a must-try for fans of high-proof, unaged rums and aguardientes seeking an authentic taste of Oaxacan sugarcane tradition and a story three generations in the making.
