It's time to welcome in the first Red Brick of 2023! And for this iteration, we're featuring our Red Brick mainstay La Serranía from Huila, Colombia, while highlighting a new component and supply chain with El Pato from Cajamarca in Northern Peru. We love how El Pato's creamy texture, highlighted by yellow fruits and caramel-rye notes, accentuates the deep chocolatey-plum character of La Serranía!
