Cihuatán Alux (70cl)

Cihuatán Alux is a limited-edition rum from El Salvador, aged for 15 years using the solera method in ex-bourbon American oak barrels. It is dedicated to maize and cacao, which Mayan mythology links to a single creative act by the god Alux. The rum is produced by Licorería Cihuatán from sugar cane grown in El Salvador, with production controlled from plant to bottled rum. Part of the proceeds supports the restoration of the historic Cihuatán site. On the nose it is rich with maize, pecan, ginger and cinnamon. On the palate it is elegant and velvety, with maize, dark chocolate and pepper, finishing long and pleasant.
