Top review from crazyforgoodbooze:
"Beautiful single cask from cihuatan from El Salvador. Personally, a little too cognac-like, a little too woody and "vinous" and the alcohol could be better integrated. Overall, however, solid sfoff and probably the oldest single barrel from El Salvador to date! And in direct comparison to the predecessor definitely much better!"

"Probably one of the best bottlings from El Salvador to date on the market. Very harmonious composition of Werthers real caramel cocoa candy with a little salt, dried apricots, date nut, cocoa, roasted almonds."

Top review from Godspeed:
"It's not bad at all, with plenty of age and watts, but still not quite to my taste. There's a smokiness and peatiness that I don't like, as I'm usually looking for more acidity and sharpness. Tried it on the spot at Christian Montaguere in Paris and I recommend all rum lovers in the world to pay it a visit. Absolutely top-notch store in every respect."

Top review from Gregor :
"For me, the new discovery of the rumfestival 2020. Very exciting what comes out of this small country. Addendum 2024: For me, this is still the best rum coming from El Salvador. With really unique sounds and not so easy to copy. Unfortunately, the price for this bottle has risen into three figures."

Top review from Matej:
"I was really curious about this one. Aroma itself is flowery, I noticed a lot of menthol, hint of sweet scent (vanilla and some fruits), nuts and spice. Nothing interesting to be honest. Taste on the other hand is very interesting, smooth (at the beginning), but than it will open in very rich pallet of flavors. I noticed some sweet flavor (can not decide if it is chocolate or caramel) spice with combination of floral flavors. It took me a few sips but I noticed apple vinegar flavor which was completly new for me. Finish was pretty long with menthol and spice flavors (mostly) with a hint of sharpness at the end. Another interesting sample, but I have to say not really for me unfortunately. My first Cihuatán. Now I need to try Creación."

Top review from Roman Lelek:
"Ve vůni cítím především sladkost karamelu a dřevo, v chuti také , na to, že je to 17 let starý rum, čekal jsem větší integraci do chuti.. Popravdě myslím, že publikum si tento rum určitě najde..pokud vyzkoušíte nižší řady, bude to fajn.."

Top review from Tim :
"Very nice nose, soft and smooth, plus points for that. This is by far the best thing about this rum, which has been aged for a long time. However, the 40% suggests that the mouthfeel is too thin, and so it is. The finish is also too short."

Top review from crazyforgoodbooze:
"sehr schöne und unglaublich ungewöhnliche Nummer hier aus el Salvador von cihuatan. sowohl fast so rauchig wie junger Whisky als auch so floral und fruchtig wie ein agricole, dennoch eine schöne, cremige süße an dulce de leche erinnend die alles verbindet. wenn der jetzt ein paar % mehr hätte wäre gigantisch... mega komplex dafür! grüner Apfel, Haselnuss, Kamille, Salzkaramell, Sahnetoffee, rauchiges fass, Pfeffer etc... der kann was! "

Top review from Filip Šikula:
"I had the opportunity to taste several different casks from this event and this is one of the better ones. It's almost slightly Guyanese in aroma. Wood, leather, fruit, mint and alcohol... The palate is again woody, with leather, intense mint and fruit enters, albeit more in a dried way, and later a bitter sour lemon peel opens up."

Top review from Serge:
"Verkostet auf der Village in Nürnberg. Nase leicht floral mit einer guten Portion Aplfel, Birne und getrockneter Feige. Am Gaumen dann auch Schokolade mit dabei und deutlich würzigen und weniger floral. Ganz stimmig, aber nicht ganz mein Stil."

Top review from Christian Rudt:
"Had this bottle on the shelf for a long time and someone wanted a sample so I opened it. Lots of herbs, slight bitterness. I like the apple notes and the slightly chocolaty finish. Update 5.5.24: Still a good drinkable rum, alcohol could be a bit better integrated at this strength. Recommended if you want to escape from the eternal Jamaica Guyana Trinidad pendulum to other flavor regions"

Top review from Tim :
"Delicious specimen, with lots of caramel/honey and an ingenious roasted note of coffee and chocolate. Once you've identified the marzipan note, it runs right through! Also fruity in many ways (lychee/mango?), subtly sweet and very round. Goes down like oil 😋 For even more points, this rum would need more complexity, although I have to say that there are still some components that I can't quite put my finger on. You have to give this rum a few minutes to breathe. Compared to other Cihuatans, it stands out somewhat."

Top review from Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰:
"#4246 09.09.2023 I got 6 secret samples from a friend as a blind tasting and that has been a lot of fun spread over two evenings. First off, the price to quality is pretty good. Once rested it's a fruity profile with nice spices and very light wood. The palate i light and I would have loved a higher ABV. The finish is medium long and also kind of light. The empty glass has some mineral and chocolate notes."

Top review from Timo Groeger:
"Dieser Rum ist auch ganz in Ordnung. Eher etwas süßlich, schmeckt und riecht in Richtung Schokolade und Karamell. Für mich ist aber der Alkohol nicht richtig eingebunden, den hat man nach dem Genuß noch zu lange im Mund."

Top review from Stefan Persson:
"Overall a smooth and pleasant Latino rum. It’s a 16yo rum containing rums aged for 15 years in American oak ex-Bourbon casks, and finished for one year in Mayan Ceiba casks. It’s fruity and smoky with aroma and flavor of vanilla and pistachio."

Top review from Decky Hicks Doughty:
"The nose has roasted nuts, nougat and some juicier touchs of coconut in the background. Quite oaky. The palate is warming. The oak is more present here. There's also molasses and brown sugar. A similar profile to the younger El Dorado's but with more wood. The finish is short. Only really the oak remains but there's also an aggressive spice. Tasting this started good but ended poorly. The palate is overly oaked and the finish has too much punchy spice. Not one I would recommend."

Top review from Schnapsschuesse:
"Holziger und etwas fruchtiger in der Nase als der Indigo. Die Schokoladenaromen sind röstiger und dunkler. Vanille, Zitrus, viel Fass. Auch am Gaumen wieder das Spiel aus Milchschokolade und Frucht. Nussiger und würziger als der Indigo, nicht so reif wie der Cinabrio. Gut süffig, aber nicht so rund wie der Rest der Range."

Top review from crazyforgoodbooze:
"very nice play of orange peel, tangerine & toffee, clearly better than the old 12 cihuatan. apparently not only the design but also the recipe has been improved again here.👌🏽 overall, however, it is a bit woody and one-dimensional but nicely orangey. I find the indigo better in terms of plv."
