Licorera Cihuatán Cihuatán Sahumerio
A sweet, spicy rum with orange, vanilla, and chocolate in the spotlight—creamy but divisive, with some users enjoying the dessert-like notes and others missing depth. One to try if mellow, spiced rums pique your interest.
Creamy, spicy, orange peel and vanilla; dessert drink vibes.

How does this rum taste?
- komplizierter, würziger, spannender Rum
- sehr feuriger, würzig, süßer
- Angenehme süße Karamell und Vanillearomen und Orange
Cihuatán Sahumerio leans into notes of orange peel, vanilla, sweet honey, and warming spices like cinnamon and chili. A recurring theme among RumX tasters is a clear sweetness, with some likening the profile to dessert or spiced spirits—"the finish reminds me of a dessert drink" (MarcT) and "Zimt/Chili/Schoko auch wieder dabei" (Schnapsschuesse). The creamy, nutty undertones and a fleeting touch of dark chocolate add complexity, though opinions split over perceived additives and a short finish. While the sweetness and spice win fans, others find it “zu scharf, zu wenig, zu teuer" (R Wehner) or a bit synthetic.

"very fiery, spicy, sweet, exciting complex rum and a worthy successor to the previous limited editions of Cihuatan! in the finish it gets really fiery and wicked again... Unusual but delicious! Still not my favorite..."
"Another one from the Rum&Co Sample Set. At first I had to check the data, is that a spiced Rum? The vanilla note as well as the orange and some cinnamon, combined with a notable sweetness are indicators, but I am not convinced they are additives. However despite being sharp, warm and creamy, I am not impressed as I am missing some of the genuine Rum aromas. The finish reminds me of a dessert drink. I can see this being appealing to many people, but after some Hampden DOK, good Demarara and delicate Barbados this type of Rum will not exite me."
"Very interesting bottling from Cihuatan. Compared to the Cinabrio, it is much spicier and has almost smoky notes, which stand out alongside orange peel, dark caramel and roasted almonds. The ingenious 45.2 % brings a great spiciness, but is occasionally slightly tangy on the tongue. There is a noticeable after-sweetness, but this does not really detract from the aroma. Quite a small price for this variety of flavors."
"Zur Abwechslung gibts zwischendurch mal was in Trinkstärke😉.El Salvador zählt jetzt nicht so zu meinen Favoriten, dennoch macht er eine recht gute Vorstellung. Die Nase ist sanft, mit süßen Karamell und Vanillearomen und Orange, dazu eine winterliche Würzmischung ( passend zur Jahreszeit)😉 und eine Prise Schoko/Chili. All das setzt mich im Mund fort, die Chilischärfe ist echt interessant wie sie so im Hals hinab läuft. Für mich aber zu Süß das Ganze. Im spanischen Stile aber ein interessanter Vertreter der bestimmt seine Freunde hat."
