Review by: The Auditor

Review #1412; Rum #711

This rum comes from the Krassel Brothers Distillery in Mexico. This rum was made from fresh pressed cane juice distilled by Axel and William Krassel in the Krassel column still. It then aged for 3  years in new Hungarian oak barrels before being bottled at cask strength with no additives.

Distillery: Krassel Family Distillery

Bottler: Alambique Serrano

Region: Mexico

Still: Column

ABV: 55.9%

Nose: Earthy, Cinnamon, Allspice, Black Pepper, Ginger, Lemon, Apple

Palate: Medium mouthfeel, Earthy, Cinnamon, Allspice, Ginger, Lemon, Black Pepper, Apple, Black Tea

Finish: Medium length finish, Earthy, Cinnamon, Allspice, Apple, Black Pepper, Ginger, Lemon, Black Tea

Just an all around great bottle from Alambique. Loads of baking spices, fruits, and a bit of black tea. It’s well balanced and delicious. They continue to put out all these great single barrels and blends and there is a reason they are among my favorite distilleries.

Final Score: 88

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.
