A cane juice rum from the cloud forest of Oaxaca, made by the Krassel brothers, third-generation rum distillers descended from a German immigrant who settled in Santa Maria Tlalixtac and built the custom column still the family still uses. They harvest organically grown cane from the surrounding hills, press it at the source and pump the juice to the distillery through hoses up to 2 kilometers long. They also run a small copper pot still of the style used by Oaxacan mezcal distillers.
"Altos Esteres" means high esters, the aromatic compounds perceived as funky and most common in Jamaican pot still rums. This rum was open fermented in pine vats for 25 days and double distilled in copper pots, then bottled at still strength with no additives or filtration.
ABV: 64.8%
