Cihuatán Alux Aged Rum Ron de El Salvador 15 Years Cihuatán Rum 70 cl 43.2%

Cihuatán Alux Limited Edition rum is a special and rare spirit that honors the ancient Maya civilization. Inspired by the Maya legend of the Aluxes, the protective gods of the land, this rum captures the essence of the sacred ingredients the Maya held in the highest regard: corn and cacao. The Maya believed that the Aluxes resided in their corn and cacao fields, as these were considered the most divine and essential gifts from the earth. To honor these gods, the Maya held great feasts at the start of each harvest season, where they enjoyed rich treats made from chocolate and corn, in gratitude for the blessings of the harvest.

In line with this tradition, Cihuatán has crafted a rum that captures the flavors and spirit of this ancient ceremony. The rum is carefully crafted, combining the finest ingredients to create a complex and flavorful profile. It begins its aging process in carefully selected ex-bourbon casks, where it develops a rich base of vanilla, caramel, and subtle spices. What truly makes this rum exceptional is its finishing in ex-Oloroso and ex-Cognac casks. This unique finishing process adds additional layers of complexity, bringing out deeper flavors of dark chocolate, roasted corn, and the smooth, elegant sweetness of Cognac.
