    How does this rum taste?

    Single Barrel (Switzerland) is a unique rum crafted in El Salvador at the Licorera Cihuatán distillery. Distilled from molasses in a column still and aged for 15 years, it offers a complex aroma of woody notes, burnt sugar, vanilla, and spice. Our RumX community appreciates its intriguing barrel influence and subtle bourbon nuances, although some find the palate a bit diluted with a short finish. This limited, cask-strength release promises a sensory journey that balances tradition with modern flair, making it a compelling choice for collectors and rum enthusiasts alike.

    Schöne fruchtige Nase mit holzigen, blumigen Tönen sowie Mandel und Karamell. Am Gaumen ein intensiver Fasseinfluss mit viel Holz, Zitrusfrüchten, Kräutern und Mandeln. Nur der Körper könnte bei dieser Trinkstärke etwas üppiger sein, welcher die Würzigkeit ein Wenig vernachlässigt. Butterscotch, Zimt und Nelken sind dennoch wahrnehmbar mit Kakao im Hintergrund. Der kurze bis mittellange Abgang hat angenehme Kräuter-und Schwarzteenoten und greift noch einmal das Fass, die Mandel und den Kakao auf.

    Very nice sample. Slightly medicinal nose with dried apricots and jodine. Off dry on the palate, then comes some acidity. Medium medicinal/metallic finish. Not my ideal sipper, but nice experience. Quality product.

    Tolle, aber etwas dünne Nase, wobei sie sehr holzlastig ist und viele Einflüsse einer Bourbonlagerung aufweist. Im Mund recht schwach, da kommt leider nicht viel durch. Insgesamt gut und das Bourbonfass bringt eine zusätzliche Seite, aber der Rum bleibt gänzlich ohne Ausreißer nach oben.

    Auf jeden Fall der beste Cihuatan den ich bisher im Glas hatte. War aber bisher auch durchweg enttäuscht von den Abfüllungen. Auch diese ist unspektakulär aber gut trinkbar. Mehr brauch es manchmal auch nicht.
