The yin to single cask #14's yang, this rum was made in almost the exact same way but the difference in harvest date, the separate wild fermantion, and the use of pot still and Virgin French Oak make this a completely singular expression in its own right. There are notes of the candied watermelon from the other single cask but then the profile changes to flavors of pears, kiwi and a bold complex melange of spices.

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 pine vats with ambient yeasts. It was then distilled by Rommel Krassel in Feburary 2022 on copper alembic pot stills. After distillation, the rum was put in a virgin French Oak cask where it aged for 21 months in a dry climate, where it experienced 8% angels before being bottled at cask strength with no additives in February of 2024. ABV: 64.4% 

Nose: Black pepper, Slight Apple, Sandalwood, touch of vinegar, figs

Palate: Medium oily mouthfeel, Cinnamon, Black Tea, Figs, Apple, Allspice, touch of grill char

Finish: Medium length finish, Black Tea, Allspice, Figs, touch of grill char, Sandalwood

Another interesting and delicious cask from Alambqiue Serrano. This has great depth of flavor. Fruits, spices, and a touch of cask influence that doesn’t overwhelm some of the vegetal notes that pop in and out.
