Alambique Serrano Vida Nativa Blend #2 Mariposa Vitral 700ML
Alambique Serrano Vida Nativa Blend #2 Mariposa Vitral is a captivating expression of artisanal Mexican rum from the steep slopes of Santa Maria Tlalixtac in Oaxaca. Crafted with devotion by the Krassel family, this second installment in the Vida Nativa series celebrates the raw potential of estate-grown sugarcane, hand-harvested across the rugged Cañada region.
Distilled in small batches using custom copper stills, Blend #2 undergoes dual-climate tropical aging across both humid and dry bodegas, allowing the spirit to draw deep, vibrant character from the oak while retaining its bright agricultural roots. Grounded in traditional, chemical-free farming, Mariposa Vitral offers a multi-layered sensory experience as intricate and colorful as stained glass (vitral), delivering unmatched depth and authentic Oaxacan terroir in every glass.

Tasting Notes
- Appearance: Luminous golden amber with brilliant bronze reflections and full, clinging legs.
- Aroma: An expressive bouquet opens with sweet grass, stewed stone fruit, and bright lime zest, opening into deeper layers of wild honey, toasted cinnamon, and grilled pineapple. A gentle thread of oak spice and subtle earthy minerality anchors the nose.
- Palate: Supple and full-bodied. The entry bursts with rich sugarcane syrup, yellow plums, and dark caramelized sugar, followed by a wave of complex warming spices like allspice and cardamom. Notes of toasted oak, dried papaya, and dark chocolate develop as the sip lingers on the tongue.
- Finish: Extended, elegant, and gently warming. Fades slowly with lingering accents of sweet wood smoke, orange peel, and a crisp, mineral-driven freshness that invites another sip.
Serving Suggestions
- Neat: Best enjoyed at room temperature in a tulip-shaped glass or copita to savor its complex aromatics and layered structure.
- With Water or Ice: Add a splash of room-temperature water or a single large ice sphere to soften the proof and reveal subtle floral and fruity undertones.
- Craft Cocktails: Makes a stellar foundation for refined, spirit-forward drinks like a Rum Manhattan, an Oaxacan Ti' Punch, or a classic Rum Old Fashioned.

What is the difference between Tequila & Mezcal?
Tequila is a type of mezcal, much like how scotch and bourbon are types of whiskey.
Tequila and mezcal are both types of agave-based spirits that are popular in Mexico, but there are some key differences between the two. Tequila is made exclusively from the blue agave plant, which is primarily grown in the area surrounding the city of Tequila, about 40 miles northwest of Guadalajara. Mezcal, on the other hand, can be made from any type of agave plant, and is often made using traditional, labor-intensive methods.
One of the most noticeable differences between tequila and mezcal is their flavor. Tequila is typically smooth and subtle, with hints of fruit and spices, while mezcal has a more complex, smoky flavor that comes from the roasting of the agave hearts before they are fermented and distilled.
Another difference between the two spirits is their production process. Tequila is typically made using modern industrial methods, while mezcal is often produced using traditional techniques that have been passed down for generations. This can give mezcal a more authentic, artisanal character.
In general, tequila is considered to be a more refined and sophisticated spirit, while mezcal is often viewed as a more rustic and traditional drink. Both are popular in Mexico and are enjoyed around the world, so the best way to decide which one you like is to try them both and see which one suits your tastes.
