Alambique Serrano Vida Nativa Blend #3 Tepejilote
Alambique Serrano Vida Nativa Blend #3 Tepejilote is a remarkable expression of artisanal Oaxacan ron agrícola, crafted in the rugged terrain of Santa Maria Tlalixtac. Produced by the Krassel family, this small-batch rum highlights high-elevation sugarcane harvested by hand on the steep slopes of the Oaxacan Cañada region.
Distilled directly from fresh sugarcane juice using custom-built handmade stills, Blend #3 showcases the family's innovative blending and aging techniques. Tropical maturation across both dry and humid bodegas brings out a dynamic balance of lush sweetness and complex wood character. Grounded in traditional, chemical-free agricultural practices, Alambique Serrano yields a pure, terroir-driven spirit that honors both the land and time-honored distillation traditions.

Tasting Notes
- Appearance: Warm amber with bright golden highlights and slow, viscous legs along the glass.
- Aroma: Initial waves of fresh green cane and raw agave-like sweetness open up to ripe tropical fruit, crushed pineapple, and bright plantain. Subtler background notes of charred oak, warm vanilla bean, and a hint of earthy damp soil add inviting depth.
- Palate: Rich and textured on the tongue. Vibrant flavors of caramelized sugar cane, baked banana, and toasted coconut give way to complex spices including nutmeg and subtle clove. The dual-bodega aging shines through, balancing bright grassy freshness with soft oak tannins and a touch of dry cacao.
- Finish: Long, warming, and expressive. Lingering notes of dried tropical fruit, sweet tobacco, and subtle mineral earthy tone taper off smoothly, leaving a clean, ester-forward sugarcane sweetness.
Serving Suggestions
- Neat: Serve in a Glencairn or copita glass at room temperature to fully appreciate the layered aromatic complexity and terroir.
- With Water: A few drops of pure water open up additional floral top notes and soft baking spices.

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.
