Licorera Cihuatán Nahual Legacy Blend

 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.

 mega! liquid dulce de leche with salted caramel and cashew nuts. For me, one of the best sweet rums on the market and the best special edition cihuatan has ever made! 🤤👏 Really nice daily sipper!

 Another rum of my drinking style - round, sweet, woody,...

 Impressively creamy nose. Lots of marzipan, caramel, vanilla and buttery tones. Quite sweet in the mouth and again caramel, roasted almonds, cream toffee and slightly woody and nutty notes. The alcohol could be a little better integrated, but the slight after-sweetening adds a balancing creaminess. Marzipan, caramel, nuts, pleasant spice and a hint of floral notes remain in the medium-long finish. The Nahual legacy blend is very pleasing and pleasantly creamy. The nose is very positive.

 I have to compare with other siblings, I have samples or bottles of each in the basic and limited line. Only after that I would be able to rate it more fairly. Otherwise a nice rum but I am not sure whether the whole fuss about Cihuatan nowadays is relevant. It reminds me of a situation around Forsquare to certain degree. Pfhr

 Finally I can try this rum after it has been on my bucket list for about 4 years. Harmonious nose of a Spanish rum with honey, caramel, roasted aromas, nuts and coffee. There is rather little fruit, but that doesn't matter. There is also a little chocolate. Drinking strength could have been a little higher.

 I tasted a sample in a blind tasting and at first I smelled wood and a bit of medicine or technique...my wife smelled diesel...the taste was mostly wood and a medium finish. After realizing it was a Cihuatan there was a sweetness of caramel, coconut, vanilla and other flavors familiar from other Cihuatans. Compared to those, there is a higher vollage and with it a longer finish.
