    How does this rum taste?

    Distinct orange flavor
    Balanced sweetness
    Approachable sipper

    Orange dominates in the Cinabrio Ron 12 Años, as most reviewers describe pronounced notes of candied orange, vanilla, and caramel—making it a sweet and approachable sipper. Many find it mild, a touch spicy, and well-balanced, though some call out a shorter finish. It finds favor as an easygoing rum, equally at home neat or as a versatile mixer, and is often recommended as a laid-back daily drink or for entertaining guests.

     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.

     Unfortunately there is a lot of musty basement in the nose that distracts the initial nosing. The palate is more like a raisin sugary rum that is again like those countless others. Very alcoholic in the end. That costs some points.

     Not just an older Cihuatan Indigo, but with its own character. Here come orange, dark wood notes and heavy sweetness. The orange becomes very oily and chewy on the palate while a certain spice is added that harmonizes and binds fantastically with the alcohol. The finish is dark wood and chocolate, good and subtle sweetness throughout. Really good! Addendum: Especially the fruit notes like super ripe mango & pineapple need some time to develop. When they get the orange becomes much fresher and more intense and loses the bitterness.

     Not a very good rum. Kinda flat and harsh (even at low ABV of 40%). Unnatural sweetness and poorly balanced. Some artificial orange i think, and maybe a bit sweet candy (toffee?). This was the Cihuatan i liked least on the tasting.
