Alambique Serrano 3 Años Cask #268

Review by: The Auditor

Review #1405; Rum #704

This is a single cask of rum from Alambique Serrano’s 3 Años line of rums aged at least 3 years. This rum was distilled from fresh pressed cane juice, distilled on the krassel column still, then aged for 3.5 years in an ex-bourbon cask before begin bottled at cask strength with no additives.

Distillery: Krassel Family Distillery

Bottler: Alambique Serrano

Region: Mexico

Still: Column

ABV: 55.3%

Nose: Pine, Nutmeg, Allspice, Orange Peel

Palate: Medium mouthfeel, Orange Peel, Pine, Nutmeg, Earthy, Allspice, Clove, and Vanilla

Finish: Medium length finish, Orange Peel, Nutmeg, Pine, Allspice, Vanilla

This is a very spice forward offering of Alambique. It gives me holiday vibes with all the baking spices and touches of vanilla and cinnamon. A bit of pine makes me think of fall too. Just a very good bottle from Alambique for me.

Final Score: 85

I have drank my fair amount of single malt but got started writing reviews about Single Malt and Bourbon in 2018. Over 1000 total reviews later and I focus mainly on Sugar Cane Spirits now. However, single malt is a still a spirits category I enjoy greatly as is Agave and Brandy. I wouldn’t go as far as to call myself an expert but I am the resident Rum obsessed writer for Malt Runners.
