Where the family’s other expressions combine pot and Krassel column distillation, Alambique de Cobre is copper-pot only — the slowest, least efficient and most expressive way the family makes rum. It is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProof \/ ABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 142.2 proof (71.1% ABV), pot still strength, undiluted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 700mL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAge:\u003c\/strong\u003e Unaged (white rum)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBase:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100% fresh-pressed Java sugarcane juice\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFermentation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Natural, in pine tanks with ambient yeast\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStill:\u003c\/strong\u003e 250-liter copper alembic pot stills only\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Santa Maria Tlalixtac, Oaxaca, Mexico\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Mezcal of Rum\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Krassel family — third-generation distillers descended from German immigrant Max Krassel, who began making aguardiente in the Oaxacan Canada in the 1930s — reserves its copper alembics for small batches: each 250-liter still yields only a few liters an hour, a fraction of the Krassel column’s output, but produces a dramatically richer, more lactic and more complex spirit. The cane is hand-harvested from steep hillsides above the distillery and fermented naturally in pine vats before double distillation at full pot still strength. Think of it as the mezcal of rum: artisanal to its core, rooted in one place, and genuinely irreplaceable.

A pure expression of Oaxacan cane-juice terroir for drinkers who love clairin, agricole blanc and high-ester whites.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to Enjoy\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eApproach it like a great clairin: tiny neat sips to meet it at full strength, then in a Ti’ Punch or a daiquiri where its funk does the work of three ingredients.
