Cañada Alambique Serrano Single Cask #1 2021
Several tasters land on the same word: mezcal. This Mexican cane-juice rum drinks like a rum-mezcal hybrid — musty and earthy on the nose, then dry, peppery and honeyed with sugarcane on the palate. One member swears you'd never guess it's 70%; the alcohol really is that well tucked in. Interesting to try, but a few found it more curious than gripping.

Aggregated from 16 community reviews.
Earthy, mezcal-like Mexican cane rum Divisive: fans call it unlike any rum they've had, while others found it tame and one-note. Most agree it's worth a sample rather than a full bottle.

Review by Schnubbii
Nase und Antritt sind sehr schön mit edlem Holz (Sandelholz, Zedernholz), Zuckerwatte, Karamell, leicht Gewürzen und ganz leicht Räucherschinken . Der Alkohol ist nicht ganz optimal eingebunden. Mit etwas Zeit im Glas bekommt er Aromen, die an den Clairin Communal Ansyen erinnern (in einer anderen Rezension zum Clairin fiel der Begriff "Funky Swedish Berries"). Der Abgang ist recht kurz, es bleibt etwas Süße. Ein schöner Rum mit einem etwas eigenen Aromaprofil aber den ganz großen Hype darum kann ich nicht nachvollziehen.

Puh, nicht mein Geschmack. Tequila, Kräuter, Olive, Gras, Zitrus.
Review by Brian Hanscel
A unique style of rum that shares similarities to mezcal. The nose is fruity and barrel focused but the palate is dry and spice forward with subtle almost smoke while being exceptionally smooth with well integrated alcohol given the strength and age. You would never guess this is 70%. Never had a rum like this.
Review by Timo Groeger
Dieser Alambique ist auch wieder sehr modrig, ganz eigenartiger Rum. Ansonsten kann ich noch etwas Schokolade erkennen in der Nase. Am Gaumen ist er dann noch etwas pfefferig, außerdem hat er einen leichten Tequila-Touch.
Review by Skyfly
Mal ne ganz andere Art von Rum, der im Gaumen und Abgang stark an Mezcal erinnert. In der Nase riecht es auch nach 30 Minuten Ruhezeit nur modrig und nach Kardamom. Im Gaumen dann modrig, erdig, pfeffrig mit etwas Zuckerrohr - wie Mezcal ohne den rauchigen Anteil. Alkohol für die hohe ABV super eingebunden.
Review by F.L.O.
Mal was ganz verrücktes hier am Start - Teil 2 ! Schmeckt auch wie ein leichter Rum-Mescal Hybrid. Etwas sanfter und gefälliger als 21165 und mehr Prozente, die auch wieder deutlich nach vorne kommen. Ich finde ihn tatsächlich etwas langweiliger, da fehlen mir die Ecken und Kanten vom 21165
Review by zabo
So mal die drei verschiedenen Mexicaner Rums im Glas, die BananaJoe wo auch immer aufgetrieben hat. Leider keine Einhörner, was auch zu erwarten war. Mein Fazit, schön sowas probiert zu haben, aber mehr leider auch nicht.
Review by mto75
heute zwei mexikanische Exoten. Der 2022er Otto ist an der Nase schon echt extrem mit Ingwer, Ricola Kräuterbonbon, Kumquat, Piment. Der 2021er ist deutlich zahmer, mehr karamellig-schokoladig. Am Gaumen kommt mir der Otto vor, als würde ich auf einem Stück Seife rumkauen. Der 2021er ist auch hier deutlich angenehmer. Beide ‚interessant‘ aber das Sample reicht da echt 😅
