How does this rum taste?
- fruity and sweet with caramel and chocolate
- mega zugänglich und total lecker
- sehr schöner komplexer Rum
Cihuatán XAMAN XO brings out a sweet, fruity character with banana, pineapple, and caramel echoing across most tastings. The mild profile is accented by vanilla, spices, and a woody undertone, described as "fruity and sweet with caramel and chocolate" by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰. Some find the Ceiba barrel influence intriguing, as Stijn Zino notes it "gives some interesting flavours." The 40% ABV and short finish are common talking points, though for fans of smooth, approachable spirits, this rum feels 'mega zugänglich und total lecker' in Ginger & Fred's words.

To Licorera Cihuatán
"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."
"Very nice complex rum, the tropical Mayan Ceiba wood brings in incredibly nice umami notes of grilled bacon, flambéed pineapple and spices. really very successful and elegant. Could just do with a little more power."
"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."
"Ein milder Mittelamerikaner. Früchte, Karamell, Ananas, Leder und ein bisschen Pflaume. Absolut solide mit einer guten Komplexität und einer Rauchnote im Abgang. Dem hohen Preis wird er allerdings nicht ganz gerecht."
