    Ziemlich guter Rum, auch wenn die Nase einen nicht von dem Hocker haut, das Mundgefühl und den Abgang sind harmonisch und lecker. Intensiv Vanille und Wein/Traube mit einer guten Ladung Holz und etwas Schokolade.

    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!

    Very good, probably the best Cihuatan I've had. Nice finish

    Well made with lots to like. It leaves a bit "burning" sensation after the finish though.
