Green olives, brine and slate hit first — this drinks more like an unaged Clairin than anything you'd call Mexican rum. Fresh sugarcane, a lactic yogurt-and-cheese note, citrus and pepper round it out over a rich, oily body. What keeps coming up: at 70% the heat stays remarkably tame. Savory, mineral and singular, with sweetness only from the cane itself.

How does Cañada Alambique Serrano "Cartier 30" taste?
Summarized by AI from community reviews.
Savory, briny unaged cane, drinks below its proof Most tasters land on the same verdict: a savory, saline unaged spirit that drinks far below its proof. The heat still catches up over a full pour.

Reminds me very strongly of an unaged Clairin: very floral with lots of olive and brine. A little yoghurt on the nose, quite musty/earthy on the palate. The taste of sugar cane provides the sweetness. Alcohol integrated for the high ABV class.

7,9:On the nose, the opening impression we get is very pungent with vegetal sugar cane and notes like mushrooms, olive, mineral and grassy, peppery and salty, flowery, there are chocolate, cherry and yoghurt notes. On aeration, funky notes, low esters arise, with tropical fruits like banana, the cane is earthy, buttery and nutty...Sometimes we might think of sniffing a fruit schnapps.😆 7,4:On the palate, the attack is again pungent and Mexican spicy, peppery, salty, the sugarcane is grassy and vegetal, a bit bitter with olive, mushrooms, flowery, we taste agave, perhaps tequila wise or sometimes, again fruit schnapps and some citrus notes.After resting the rum, the cane becomes herbaceous, musty, earthy, slightly mineral, there are some medicinal tones. 7,5:The finish is slightly rounder, dry, still spicy, now a bit metallic, there are fruits like banana, strawberry, citrus, some confectionery and still vegetal, flowery, earthy cane..
Review by zabo
Here are the three different Mexican rums in a glass that BananaJoe found wherever. Unfortunately no unicorns, which was to be expected. My conclusion, nice to have tried something like this, but unfortunately nothing more.
Review by Schnubbii
On the nose, similar to an Agricole. Some sugarcane, slightly earthy and fermented. On the palate, also similar to a (nice) unaged Agricole. Besides the typical notes of sugarcane and light vanilla, I also find aromas of berries. Rather fewer fermented aromas, no olive. The alcohol bites a bit. The finish is relatively short with sweetness and vanilla. A nice, unaged rum that, for me, doesn’t live up to the huge hype.
Review by Timo Groeger
Following the Cartier, you really can't complain. It really goes in the direction of Clsirin, very vegetal and musty on the nose. On the palate, it becomes earthy, with brine and olive coming through. Pretty okay ;-)
Review by abaker-rum
This is a very flavorful complex rum that throws a bunch of different notes at you. You get the expected sugarcane and vegetal notes, but there are also notes of yoghurt on the nose, anise in the palate, and fennel on the finish. It is hot at 71.4% alcohol, but still approachable.
Review by F.L.O.
Something really crazy here at the start - Part 3. And the Winner is 20850. Exactly my thing. You can put it next to a Clairin Sajous Saint Michel and argue who is better. Alcohol very well integrated for unaged in this 70% environment, And unlike the other two, no more mescal-rum hybrid :-)

Review by SaibotZtar
Full can of floral ... Lots of floral notes, citrus fruits, pepper, olive, something salty. On the palate floral, salty biting. Citrus fruits green olives Alcohol slightly biting in the mouth.
Review by sweetiemode
Easiest 70%+ proof spirit I’ve ever tried—truly a testament to the attention put into the creation and running of the stills. So full of flavor and yet so little bite—the heat blends perfectly with the fresh, savory nature of the spirit, full of cheese and slate and yarrow.
Review by Jarek
3x Cañada Alambique Serrano from Mexico: None of them really convinced me, so I'll stick with the three samples. I liked this one the best, I found the vegetal, musty notes quite interesting.
Review by Piotr Ignasiak
First impression for me was the rich, oily mouthfeel. Really great unaged rum on vegetal side.
Review by Johannes
Another great bottling - olive, salt, tequila, stone, light fruits, esters.
Review by FischeJ
Smells strongly of sugarcane. Vegetal and floral. Also slight hints of olives. Sweetish in the mouth with a similar profile.
Review by thehumblefox
NOSE: Fresh cane, intensely mineral, saline. A lactic note, like an overripe yogurt or Camembert. This is a weighty, textural spirit, and hangs in the nostrils with a somewhat floral perfume-like quality (hydrangea?) Elmer’s glue, oil paints and other solvents waft over the top. PALATE: Saline, sour candies, orange zest, castelvetrano olives. A creamy roasted agave sweetness. Rich, viscous. I’m salivating! FINISH: A long finish! Citrus, spruce tips, juniper, candied fennel, menthol. Lemon oils. Underripe strawberries. A richly saline and slightly sour sensation leaves your moth watering. And heady aromatic desert plants waft in the background. OVERALL: Beautifully powerful and singular rum. Suffice to say this is special stuff. The texture & weight, combined with a mouthwatering salinity & sour citrus notes, leaves you wanting more. NOTE: this is hefty stuff, however, and the raw alcohol will catch up with you over time. My palate is craving more, but the back of my throat needs a rest. SCORE: 90/100
Review by Solidfunk
Nail polish, some vanilla, some hint of anise, but that could just be the "aguardiente" note on the label playing with my imagination. Water clear pour. Plenty of perfume. End is a bit killer on the booze. Green Zone.
Review by Reefshark
This is for the 4th edition. This is not as flavorful as the 1st edition.
Review by Ian Gilman
My second rum from Alabique Serrano and the distillery clearly had carved out their own style despite great differences between the two I’ve tried. I went in thinking this would be like Rivers Antoine and in some ways it is, but I would not say they’re similar. The funk here is much less wild and is grassier and earthier, with a shorter finish. There are some meaty umami notes but the prevailing flavors are more vegetal than Rivers or a Clairin.
Review by Madi Dromamad
Very fresh, it's almost hard to believe it's so high in alcohol.

Read full review ›What an impressive rum, packed full of minerality, fruits, and a touch of vinegar. It drinks well under its proof and the finish lasts an impressive amount of time. This is one of the top unaged rums I’ve had when it comes to flavor and drinkability. Just well balanced and executed all over.
