It would be impossible to overstate the influence of the raw ingredients used to create this very rare rum. Using only local heirloom Java cane, the stalks were hand harvested at altitudes ranging from 2,500-3,800 meters above sea level in 2021. Distilled on a Krassel Still and single time with wild yeasts, there is even more natural cane character retained in the rum after it has aged for 2yrs in Ex-Bourbon in the distillery's humid cellars. The aromatics are bursting with juicy notes of candied watermelon, dried wild strawberries, cardamom, banana pudding and spicy cloves. Wow.

This rum was made from fresh pressed cane juice with the cane being the Java varietal and grown at Santa Maria Tlalixtac, Oaxaca. This is located 2500-3800 feet above sea level. The fresh pressed cane juice was fermented in steel tanks for 5-10 days with ambient yeasts. This was distilled by Axel and William Krassel in September of 2021 on an 8 plate column still. It was put into an ex-bourbon cask and aged for 24 months in a humid environment. It was then bottled at cask strength with no additives. ABV: 55.8% 

Nose: Vanilla, Green Apple, Peppery, touch of mushroom, earthiness 

Palate: Medium oily mouthfeel, Green Apple, Peppery, Mushrooms, Earthiness, Cinnamon

Finish: Medium length finish, Green Apple, Mushrooms, Earthiness, Cinnamon, Dark Chocolate

Another great rum, these Alambiques really showcase a great depth of flavor and balance. They are a great demonstration of the ability of well managed oak to accent young aged cane juice rums. They really are a stand out.
