70.3% ABV

Agricole-style rum from the cloud forest of Oaxaca. The Krassel family have grown sugarcane and distilled aguardiente in Santa Maria Tlalixtac, Oaxaca for 3 generations. They grow their organic sugar cane in the high altitude cloud forest in the far north of Oaxaca state at elevations ranging from 900 to nearly 4000 feet above sea level. 

Their cane is harvested, pressed, and pumped to their palenque where it spontaneously ferments from the presence of wild ambient yeasts in their stainless steel tanks. They use a modified continuous still that their grandfather designed in the 1930's. With an eye towards sustainability, they utilize diesel fuel to fire their still so as not to add to the issue of deforestation which is common in that area of Oaxaca. 

This is their first unaged bottling in the Alambique Serrano range of Rums which was reserved for their aged expressions, like our private blend El Boxeador. Their unaged expressions were bottled under other labels, like Cañada. This one is oddly drinkable for such a potent ABV with some grassy notes and cane sugar sweetness. An absolute flavor explosion. Try it in place of Wray & Nephew or Rum Fire in your favorite Tiki cocktail for a funky Agricole-style twist.
