How does this rum taste?
- Fruity and aromatic
- Smooth texture
- Complex tropical notes
Cihuatán XAMAN XO, a 16-year-old rum from Licorera Cihuatán in El Salvador, features a complex blend of sweet, fruity, and spicy notes. Distilled from molasses using a column still, it combines aromas of pineapple, clove, and banana with flavors of vanilla and toffee. Users appreciate its fruity and rounded profile, though some found the price high for the experience offered, given its 40% ABV. This rum's unique tropical aging in American oak ex-Bourbon and Mayan Ceiba casks contributes to its smooth texture and subtle smoky finish. However, its mild nature and short finish may lack excitement for some connoisseurs.

"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."

"sehr schöner komplexer Rum, das tropische Mayan-Ceiba Holz bringt unglaublich schöne umami Noten nach gegrilltem Speck, flambierter Ananas und Gewürzen mit rein. wirklich sehr gelungen und elegant. Könnte nur etwas mehr Power vertragen."

"Am overall well rounded rum with an oily palate. The curtains in the glass are really nice and stay long. Fruity and sweet with caramel and chocolate as well as lightly roasted wood notes."
