Alambique Serrano — Vida Nativa Blend #4 · Mariposa 88

Blend named for the "88 Butterfly," recognizable by the distinct markings on the underside of its hindwings — spotted along the Río Blanco or feeding on fallen fruit in the Cañada. Java-varietal cane juice, ambient-yeast pine-tank ferment, pot- and Krassel-still distillation. Two-part blend: a pot-and-Krassel-still lot aged 3 years in new French oak then finished 11 months in ex-tequila; plus a Krassel-still lot aged 38 months in ex-bourbon then finished 10 months in an ex-Merlot oak cask. Nose: lavender, rosita de cacao, buttered popcorn, Pan de Muertos. Palate: orange compote, lavender, brioche, red currant, laffy taffy, a hint of Szechuan. Bottled at cask strength — 56.1% ABV, no water, no sugar, no coloring. 571 bottles total. Imported by PM Spirits. Drop your email and we'll let you know when it lands.
