Nicely sweet, gentle chocolate and vanilla, light easy sipper.

RumX community voice

Cihuatán 12 Years offers sweetness, gentle chocolate, and tropical fruit, but several RumX members were left wanting more depth and a longer finish. One to try if you enjoy a soft, easygoing sipper.

    How does this rum taste?

    RumX tasters peg this Salvadoran spirit as leaning sweet, with repeated nods to notes of vanilla, chocolate, and a noticeable dose of tropical fruit. The nose is "très exotique sur la sucrosité, très plaisant au nez" (Mc Pirate), with the palate proving especially gentle—sometimes too much so, for some. Overall, it comes across as approachable but on the lighter side, with reviewers describing the finish as quite short. Stefan Persson calls out its "aroma is very alcoholic" and notes of caramel and sweetness run throughout.

    Nice and sweet. Not much character beyond that.

    Sehr schokoladiger eher süßer Rum aber nicht zu pappig. Schöner Einsteigerrum oder als sipper für den ersten Drink

    Belle couleur claire et nez très exotique sur la sucrosité, très plaisant au nez. Bouche extrêmement légère, que le fruit jaune, touches exotiques. Finale courte sur le sucre

    Can’t recommend this rum! It’s produced in a multi column still and I believe the average age of this Solera rum is quite few years. The aroma is very alcoholic. The flavors on the other hand is quite sweet with flavors of vanilla and caramel. The finish is very short.
