These are truly fascinating rum projects and we had a blast learning more about them. We discuss:
What makes this rum different from other Oaxacan producers like Paranubes and Dakabend
The Krassel family's unique approach to muck pits and high ester experimentation
The vast range of profiles they can create thanks to their custom column still, pot stills, and dry and humid aging environments
The challenges of harvesting cane and fermenting on the side of a mountain
The making of Alambique Serrano's initial blends
The unique design of the Krassel still, which Isidoro's grandfather invented
A surprise reveal of their new 70% ABV rum, Cartier 30
And much more!
