Cañada Alambique Serrano Single Cask #22 Otto’s High Dive 2022
"That is an unusual rum," as one taster put it, and that's the kindest summary here. Think herbs, resin, green olive, hay and a tequila-like agave twang — several people literally compared it to TDL or a mountain-herb schnapps. The 68.9% is well tucked in, but a couple found it soapy and "richtig verrottet." One reviewer loved the funky berries; most just found it odd.
- Unique aroma profile
- Well-integrated 68.9%
- Herbal, agave funk

How does Cañada Alambique Serrano Single Cask #22 Otto’s High Dive 2022 taste?
Aggregated from 13 community reviews.
Wild herbal, olive, agave-leaning oddball Polarizing Mexican cask-strength oddity: herbal, olive-and-agave, faintly rotten, more rum-tequila hybrid than classic rum. A few find it fascinating; most enjoyed sampling it once and left it there.

Review by RumTaTa
Nase: Kräuterlimonade, Harz, Heu, wenig Alkohol, süß, junges Holz Das kräuterige, harzige lässt mich zuerst an T.D.L denken Gaumen: puh, deutlich mehr Alkohol als gedacht! Wieder Kräuter und Harz, auch nasses Heu. Hat etwas von einem Gebirgskräuterschnaps 😁 Alkohol ca. 50-55%. Ich hab keinen Plan wo ich den einordnen soll. Am ehesten wohl T.D.L Nachklang recht lang und wie Nase und Gaumen. Nicht schlecht aber sehr untypisch für Rum. Auflösung: RX21165 Otto's High Drive. Alkohol ist tatsächlich bei fast 70% und damit sehr gut eingebunden!
Review by Schnubbii
Die Nase ist wild. Die "Funky Swedish Berries", die ich schon im Single Cask #1 gefunden hatte sind hier noch viel intensiver vorhanden. Daneben Essig, Leder und Räucherschinken. Am Gaumen explodieren die schwedischen, hier sehr fruchtigen Beeren und hinterlassen Süße und ganz leicht Räucherschinken. Der Alkohol ist gut eingebunden. Verrücktes Aromenprofil. Der Abgang ist leider nicht sehr lange, es bleibt nur etwas Zuckerwatte. Ein interessanter Rum, das Aromaprofil ist intensiv und recht einzigartig, könnte aber gerne noch komplexer sein. Die eher schlechten Bewertungen hier kann ich nicht nachvollziehen.
Review by F.L.O.
Something really crazy here at the start. Tastes like a rum-tequila hybrid. Young but nicely matured. Alcohol comes through clearly, but is well embedded for 68.9%. Will it work in a daiquiri?
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 SaibotZtar
Sour olive water on the nose, olive oil , grapefruit vanilla. On the palate... Some kumquat when they are not really ripe, sour bitter and again green olives. Relatively alcoholic. Very interesting although not really my cup of tea.
Review by mto75
Two Mexican exotics today. The 2022 Otto is really extreme on the nose, with ginger, Ricola herbal candy, kumquat and allspice. The 2021 is much tamer, more caramel-chocolatey. On the palate, the Otto feels like I'm chewing on a bar of soap. The 2021 is also much more pleasant here. Both 'interesting' but the sample is really enough 😅.
Review by Skyfly
The third Alambique Serrano today, which is not convincing in direct comparison. Nevertheless, it is interesting with lots of floral notes, olive and herbs. From nose to finish, however, it also has something rotten about it. Alcohol well integrated. In summary, interesting, but not my thing. With spicy ginger it could be something in a long drink.
Review by Timo Groeger
War echt nett diesen mal verkosten zu dürfen, das war es aber auch schon. Also er schmeckt wirklich richtig verrottet... Ein paar Kräuter sind erkennbar, das war es dann aber auch leider schon :-(. Gibt bessere Rums.
Review by Johannes
A great piece! Herbs, olive, brine, yeast, tequila, a little musty, very special.
